Small Chick Feeding Tray

The Small Chick Feeding Tray is a low-profile manual feeder designed for chicks and young poultry during the early brooding period. Its open circular structure makes starter feed highly visible and easy to reach, helping newly placed birds begin feeding quickly.

The 42 cm tray provides feeding space for multiple chicks at the same time, while the shallow raised rim helps keep feed inside the tray and separated from poultry-house litter. This supports cleaner feed presentation and reduces unnecessary feed loss.

The lightweight plastic construction is durable, easy to handle and simple to wash between flocks. It is suitable for commercial poultry farms, broiler and breeder rearing houses, hatchery-related projects and livestock equipment packages for steel structure poultry buildings.

• Low chick access: The shallow 5.5 cm tray height makes feed easy to reach for young poultry.
• Wide feeding area: A 42 cm diameter provides space for multiple chicks to feed simultaneously.
• Reduced feed waste: The raised outer rim helps retain starter feed during normal chick activity.
• Cleaner feeding: Feed is presented above the litter surface instead of being scattered directly on the poultry-house floor.
• Simple manual operation: No electricity, motor, auger or installation hardware is required.
• Durable plastic construction: Suitable for repeated poultry brooding cycles and routine farm handling.
• Easy cleaning: Smooth and open surfaces simplify washing and sanitation.
• Easy deployment: Trays can be distributed quickly throughout the brooding area before chick placement.

• One-piece round plastic tray body
• Low-profile raised outer rim
• Wide open starter-feed area
• Molded circular base structure
• Reinforced tray profile for routine handling

Starter feed is spread directly across the open tray surface. The broad feeding area makes feed easy for young chicks to see and reach during the first stage of poultry rearing.

The shallow edge allows easy entry and feeding access while helping retain feed inside the tray. Multiple trays can be positioned throughout the brooding area to distribute feeding points and reduce crowding.

As chicks become familiar with the farm's main feeder system, supplemental feeding trays can be gradually removed according to the poultry management program.

Feed Management: Spread fresh starter feed evenly across the tray and replenish it as required. Avoid excessive filling that may increase feed scattering.

Transition: Reduce the number of trays progressively as birds become accustomed to the primary poultry feeding system.

Maintenance: Remove remaining feed after use, wash and disinfect the tray according to the farm sanitation program, and allow it to dry completely before storage or reuse.
