Rogier Poultry Supplies
Aquires Smith Poultry
At the end of 2025, Rogier Poultry Supplies acquired Smith Poultry & Game Bird Supply, owned by Terry and John Smith. We are very excited to continue their business and strive to maintain the same values, expertise, and principles Terry and John set forth. Whether they were at a poultry show or you ordered from their website, you encountered a friendly voice that welcomed you back time and time again.
During our visits with the Smith’s this past year, their genuine care for all their customers was clear. For 37+ years, they poured their heart and soul into the poultry fancy, with their cherished customers quickly becoming friends and family. You have filled their hearts with joy, laughter, and treasured stories that will follow them into their much-deserved retirement. This transition for them has been hard, but they look forward to “taking it easy.”
Their travels have taken them all throughout the United States, setting up their supply booth at poultry shows, swaps, and auctions. In the later years, John traveled alone, and Terry maintained the online orders and shipments from home. Their very first poultry show was in Shawnee, OK, and their last show, to finish out their career, was to be in Shawnee this past December. Due to health reasons, they could not attend.
Over the years, The Smith’s received several awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006 from the APWS (American Pheasant & Waterfowl Society). In 2021, John was honored for his many years of service to the poultry breeders by the APA.
John and Terry have been very faithful in supporting and advertising for over 11 poultry-related organizations. Throughout the years, they also made numerous donations to the Junior Shows for the youth. They firmly believe the poultry fancy needs the youth to grow and continue the shows.
We carefully listened to all of Smith’s advice, studied Terry’s meticulous organization skills, and took in all of John’s poultry show knowledge, and are ready to expand and join our businesses. They have entrusted us, and we could not be more appreciative.
Let’s continue to remember the Smiths’ legacy by sharing your favorite memories, whether with your friends or us, while we work diligently to continue their beloved poultry and game bird business.
About Rogier Poultry Supplies
Welcome to our farm and supply business. We are so glad you stopped by to check us out! Whether you exhibit poultry or have a backyard flock, we are here for you!
From our farm to your barn, we have all the supplies you need for your poultry!
We are Tim, Kim, Katlyn, and Andrew Rogier. We also have two more daughters, but you rarely see them at our supply shows. They care for our poultry and waterfowl at home while we travel to shows.
For the past 35 years, the Rogier Family has proudly owned and operated a fourth-generation farm that currently includes cattle, grain, and our beloved poultry. For 20 years, we also had a large farrow-to-finish hog operation. Our farm produces corn, soybeans, and wheat. We are in southern Illinois, just 30 minutes from St. Louis and the Mississippi River.
Our generational farm has always had many chickens flocking around the barnyard. In 1982, Tim's grandparents expanded their egg business, providing our local businesses with fresh eggs. That business downsized in 1993 for health reasons but continued on a smaller scale. Through the years, our kids have shown our backyard chickens at our local fair, including 4H. Katlyn and Tim are superintendents for our county 4H poultry program and local fair. In 2017, exhibition chickens and waterfowl were welcomed by Katlyn and Andrew to our farm. In 2018, they attended their first national show, competing with other junior exhibitors.
In 2021, along with our dedicated poultry friends, we brought back the ILMO Poultry Show located in Highland, IL. Tim is on the board of directors, and Katlyn is President. With a lot of hard work and trusting exhibitors, our show was a success. Mark the second weekend in September on your calendar, and join us! You are guaranteed to have a good time.
Over the years, our cattle and poultry supply business has grown, moved online, and traveled to poultry shows. We have spent countless hours researching our products to provide for you and your farm, and most of our products have been used directly on our farm. We pride ourselves on supplying your farm with quality products at affordable prices. With our experience, we are diverse in our knowledge and understanding of large fowl, bantams, game birds, waterfowl, turkeys, and, of course, our cattle!
The poultry community has embraced us, and we will be forever grateful to each and every one of you! At the shows, you will usually meet Tim, Kim, and Katlyn. Sometimes, we are lucky enough for Andrew to tag along. Katlyn keeps our online store updated, ships out our orders, and researches new products. Whether you call, text, order online, email, or message us on Facebook, you will usually be talking to her. Tim and Andrew keep the warehouse in order, including inventory, and load the trailer for shows. Kim does a little of everything but really enjoys meeting new and old friends at shows!
Like on our farm, we work together to ensure you have all the supplies you need for your barn! We continually add new products, so let us know if we can help you find anything. We enjoy talking to our customers, so feel free to give us a quick text or call!
We are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have with your bird, big or small. A farm never stops, so we are open 7 days a week! Unless the cows are running around the neighborhood, we will get right back with you!
Again, thank you for all of your support. Good luck at all of your future shows, and safe travels!
