Title
Sunnyside Hatchery, Inc. - Beaver Damn, WI
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Oscar Wilke started hatching chicks on his Waunakee farm in 1912. We don't know the original hatching capacity, but he started out with Wishbone incubators and later changed to Jamesways. Ed Watzke worked for Mr. Wilke and married daughter Maebelle Wilke. The Watzke's started the Sunnyside Hatchery in Portage in the late '30s. The third Sunnyside Hatchery was opened in Reedsburg in the early '40s. Son, George Wilke, operated this unit in the early '50s. Beaver Dam was the fourth expansion, started in the '40s by Rodney Wilke. He later merged with DeKalb and was joined by his son, Mark. The next Sunnyside Hatchery was started in Watertown in the '40s. Son, Richard, operated this unit. Another son, Karl Wilke and his wife Maxine, opened a Madison hatchery when he returned from the service in the late '40s. He moved this unit to Oregon, WI in the '60s. Maxine developed and served a small market for special hatching eggs for the medical, veterinary and other research laboratories
