Elite Plastic Chick Trough with Lid 680mm – Long Anti-Waste Chick Feeder

Long Chick Feeder Trough with Anti-Waste Grid Top

The Elite Plastic Chick Trough is a long, durable green feeder trough made for feeding chicks and young poultry. At 680mm long, it gives a whole brood plenty of room to line up and feed at once, and the grid top lets the chicks put their heads through to eat while stopping them standing in the feed and fouling or scratching it out. Made from sturdy plastic, it is easy to fill, easy to clean and built to handle daily use in the brooder or coop.

Room for the Whole Brood

Chicks feed in a crowd, and a long trough is the practical way to feed them. The 680mm length spreads the chicks out along its sides so more can feed at the same time with less pushing, which helps make sure the smaller birds get their share too. That makes it well suited to larger broods and busy brooders where a small feed dish would not keep up.

Grid Top Cuts Feed Waste

The trough's grid top, or lid, is the feature that saves feed. It lets chicks reach the feed through the gaps but keeps them from climbing in, so they cannot stand in the trough, scratch the feed out or foul it with droppings. Keeping the feed clean and contained means less waste and more of it eaten, which adds up over a brood, and it helps keep the feed hygienic for the chicks.

Easy to Fill and Clean

The trough is simple to fill and quick to clean, so you can keep fresh feed up to the chicks and stay on top of hygiene, which matters a great deal with young birds. A wipe and rinse between fills keeps it clean, and the durable plastic stands up to regular washing.
