Production at the new facility will begin soon. The Beresford unit will produce around 35 million day old turley poults annually. The company said in a statement that the day old turkey poults will be transported with a fleet of specializzed trucks equipped with technology that simulates a hatchery environment during transport.

Hendrix Genetics announced that it invested heavily in building two other hatcheries as well as multiple new farms to supply them.

In 2017, the company unveiled its flagship North American hatchery in Grand Island, Nebraska. The company described this hatchery as a "state of the art and dedicated to hatching grandparents for multiple genetic lines".
