Feeders

Chore-Time offers two reliable ways to feed caged birds: Chore-Time’s ULTRAFLO® Feeder, preferred by an overwhelming majority of the United States’ top egg producers, and Chore-Time’s Traveling Hopper Feeder.  Either system gives you reliable performance year after year and helps birds perform at their peak.

• Dependable micro-processor control.
• Energy-efficient system uses sturdy, long-lasting parts.
• Unique auger connector joins ends of one-piece coreless auger.
• Low maintenance costs.
• Uniform feed distribution through closed-loop system delivers precise feed ration without risk of over-feeding the birds.
• Auger helps prevent birds from raking and wasting feed.
• Reduces feed usage as much as 5% while increasing production.
• Slight rotation of auger remixes all feed in the trough.
• No trough “edges” where stale or damp feed can accumulate.
• Independent tests show no feed separation or high-grading of feed.
• Programmable “stimulation” cycles stir feed to stimulate birds’ appetites.

Traveling Hopper

Simple design features few moving parts, corrosion-resistant PVC-coated cable and permanently sealed wheel bearings for reliability.

• Adaptable to multi-tier vertical pullet or layer cage systems, with or without walkways.
• Takes up less aisle space than similar feeders.
• Uses as little as 1/2 HP motor to feed an entire cage row.  Soft start feature reduces strain on power unit.
• Feeder includes enough hopper capacity to feed in both directions of travel and is easy to operate manually in areas with unreliable power.
• Feed level is adjustable, and feeder includes both individual tier shut-offs and fill system shut-offs to prevent spillage.
• Hopper view windows provide feed level visibility and permit easy confirmation of proper filling of hopper.
• Feed "pushers" at each tier reduce feed wastage while keeping feed in front of birds; a feed level "sled" reduces caked feed.
• Support system from cage legs helps align feeder with the cage row, minimizing the possibility of derailment.
• A rotational sensor monitors whether feedcar is running and serves as a safety shutoff for the power unit.
• System design does not require placement of power units in cages, unlike some other systems.
• Can feed entire cage row/house at once for reduced bird stress.

Nipple Drinkers

• Automatic flush capability also facilitates stimulating birds with fresh water in hot weather as well as helping to keep the drinker lines clean.
• Constructed of corrosion-resistant materials with UV inhibitors for long-lasting service.
• High volume regulator and large unrestricted pipe provide plenty of water for longer lines. 
• Completely enclosed system uses pre-assembled pipe assemblies, including valves, and is ready to install.
• Patented saddle provides a water-tight connection to the pipe without gluing or welding.
• 360° trigger action provides easy access for all hens.
• Optional catch trough and catch cups available.
