The company was founded in 1991 and has grown to become the largest independent commercial egg layer chick producer in the USA. Centurion distributes chicks from hatcheries in Alabama, Iowa, Missouri and Pennsylvania. In addition, Centurion has a long-standing association with Kansas based Nelson’s Hatchery. This hatchery network gives Centurion a capacity to produce over 50 million H&N layer chicks per year.
