Starfish’s “Sight”
A starfish cannot see in
the usual sense, but there is
a minute, reddish pigment
spot at the end of each ray
which is sensitive to light so
that the animal senses
whether it is moving into
dark crevices or into places
more strongly illuminated.

“CHIK-EZE”
Hinged bottom model Chik-Eze includes egg tray which can
be put into use at 10 weeks.
This feature will actually permit birds to be kept in the
start/grow cage at full laying age if necessary. It also eli
nunates problems of egg gathering and egg breakage if
circumstances delay movement of pullets to grow/lay or
permanent lay cages, and it takes care of eggs from birds
that lay permaturely. The lowered floor provides a 2 inch
gap for eggs to roll out onto tray.
THE ALL NEW FLAT DECK CHIK-EZE
PULLET REARING CAGE
. . . offers durability, economy, performance and practical
labor saving features that increase management efficiency.
The heart of the system is the Big Dutchman chain and
trough feeder providing 96 inches of feeding space per
cage. There is full availability of all the feed to all the birds.
All feed is automatically recirculated and remixed, result
ing in better feed consumption.
Extra feed capacity makes high density of birds per case
row practical and manageable. 5
