Chick feeder Olba 50 cm to place on the ground Trough Feeder

A 50 cm Feeder to Feed Multiple Chicks

When several chicks are raised together, it is important to offer them enough space around the feeder. A feeding area that is too small can create competition among the animals and prevent the weaker ones from easily accessing the food.

Thanks to its length of 50 cm, this Olba feeder offers a large feeding area. The animals can spread out along the entire length of the tray and access their food more comfortably.

This format is particularly suitable for groups of small to medium-sized chicks.

A Lid Designed to Limit Waste

One of the main advantages of this feeder lies in its top lid with individual openings.

The chicks only pass their heads through the openings to reach the food. This design limits their ability to enter the feeder, scratch directly at the food, or scatter it onto the bedding.

The result is cleaner distribution and a reduction in food waste.

In a chick farming environment, where the animals naturally tend to scratch and scatter their food, this anti-waste system is a real advantage on a daily basis.

Better Protected Food from Dirt

The lid not only serves to reduce waste. It also helps protect the food.

By preventing the chicks from climbing directly into the tray, it reduces the risk of finding droppings or dirt in the food.

The shape of the feeder also helps keep the food further away from the surrounding litter.

Cleaner food helps maintain better hygiene conditions in the rearing area.

Stable and Robust Construction

Olba has paid special attention to the stability of this feeder. Its design allows it to be placed directly in the chicks' area while maintaining good stability when several animals feed simultaneously.

It is made from durable plastic, well-suited to the daily demands of a farm.

Unlike metal feeders, plastic does not pose corrosion problems and also offers the advantage of being lightweight and easy to handle.

Easy to Open for Refilling

The opening system allows easy access to the tray for adding food.

The lid can be opened to fill the feeder along its entire length, then closed to restore the individual openings intended for the chicks.

This design makes refilling quick and avoids having to pour food through each opening.

A closing system then properly secures the upper part during use.

Easy to Clean

With young animals, regular cleaning of feeding equipment is particularly important.

The plastic construction greatly facilitates the maintenance of this feeder. Once opened and emptied, it can be cleaned to remove feed dust, residues, and any dirt.

Its relatively simple shape allows easy access to the inside of the tray.

After cleaning, it is advisable to let the feeder dry completely before refilling it with food.

For Chicks, but Also for Quails and Pigeons

Even though this feeder is particularly interesting for chicks, its use is not limited to young chickens.

It can also be suitable for:

• chicks;
• young poultry;
• quails;
• pigeons.

Its linear format and openings allow it to be used in various small-scale farming settings.

A Practical Feeder for the Brooder

Thanks to its compact height format and its 50 cm length, this feeder easily finds its place in a brooder or a starting area for chicks.

It can be positioned so that the young animals can access the food from both sides, when the brooder setup allows for it.

This arrangement maximizes the use of the feeder's length and distributes the chicks around the feeding point.
