Chick Feeders
DURA-GRO Chick Feeders
The DURA-GRO Chick Feeder is the premier feeder for transitioning chicks to an automated pan. Our oval design allows for larger space between pans and provides a 20% larger perimeter than circular models. Each feeder will accommodate up to 100 birds. The feeders are recommended for chicks from day 1 through day 12, when birds reach the size that allows feeding from the automated pans. The DURA-GRO Chick Feeder is specifically designed to reduce feed waste and contamination by preventing the chicks from entering the feeder. Test results for hopper style feeders show up to 14% higher final live weight. We manufacture the feeder from a virgin high-density polyethylene plastic, providing superior impact and wear resistance. The Dura-Gro Storage System makes the Dura-Gro chick feeder the easiest to store and maintain versus other chick feeders on the market.
The DURA-GRO Chick Feed Tray is a durable, lightweight tray designed to give you longer life while providing better feed distribution and reduced costs. We manufacture the tray using a virgin high-density polyethylene plastic, providing superior impact and wear resistance. DURA-GRO’s ribbed bottom and sidewalls maximize strength while preventing feed loss from chick scratching. Smooth surface make DURA-GRO easy to clean. The 13” width allows it to fit easily between the feed pans for all brands of feeding equipment.
