What is Sasso?
Sasso refers to a family of coloured chickens bred for traditional poultry markets. The dual-purpose lines are intended to give farmers a practical balance of body growth, livability and egg potential.
Who is it best for?
- Farmers who want a dual-purpose flock with a stronger meat focus.
- Systems that combine housing, balanced feed and controlled outdoor access.
- Markets that prefer coloured birds with a traditional appearance.
How is it different?
Sasso is often chosen when body growth is a priority without moving to a specialised broiler. Kenbro is another free-range dual-purpose option, while Kuroiler is widely used in lower-input and semi-intensive systems. The exact Sasso line and management plan matter.
What 1 to 2 week chicks need
These chicks have passed the first few days but are still in the brooding stage.
- Continue controlled warmth, with enough space for chicks to move toward or away from the heat source.
- Maintain clean water, chick starter feed, dry litter and fresh air without cold draughts.
- Prepare a separate, secure brooder and avoid mixing the new chicks with an older flock immediately.
- Read the batch vaccination record and note the next dose due after delivery.
Veterinarian-certified vaccination schedule
ChickMagnet follows a veterinarian-certified vaccination schedule. Every bird receives every dose due by its selected age, and each dose is recorded against the current batch. Every vaccine due by the exact dispatch age is completed and recorded. A one-week chick has received the Day 1 doses; a two-week chick has also received the Days 10 to 12 booster when due.
- Day 1: Marek's disease, Gumboro, Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis vaccines at the hatchery.
- Days 10 to 12: Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis booster.
- Days 18 to 21: Gumboro booster.
- Week 6: Fowl pox vaccine.
- Week 8: Fowl typhoid vaccine.
- Week 18: Newcastle disease booster, then repeat every three to four months under veterinary guidance.
How ChickMagnet cares for the flock
The birds are raised on a clean ChickMagnet farm by trained farm managers who monitor their health, housing, feed and water every day.
- Housing, feeders and drinkers are cleaned and managed to reduce avoidable disease risk.
- Birds receive age-appropriate feed, clean water, dry housing and routine observation.
- Vaccines are given when due for the bird’s age and recorded for the current batch.
- Any bird showing signs of illness is assessed rather than vaccinated while sick.
Important: No chicken is disease-proof. Good brooding, vaccination, hygiene, feed and water remain essential. Ask ChickMagnet which Sasso line is in the current batch. Chicks are sold unsexed. ChickMagnet does not guarantee sex, but the farm tries to balance male and female chicks where possible. ChickMagnet completes every vaccination due before delivery; the buyer is responsible for continuing later doses.
