If You Are Looking at Another Cage System, Take A Moment
WHOSE FEEDER IS BETTER?
DESIGN...our chain feeder allows easy access to feed, but
keeps feed levels further below the lip of the trough compared
to the grinding auger feeder. The chain feeder has a steep
sidewall, discouraging feed build-up. The auger feeder trough
has a slope that allows build-up, inviting mold and disease.
Our trough is ribbed, for strength. Theirs is built for price alone.
FEEDING SPACE...ActuaI feeding space with the auger feeder
is skimpy. In fact, our chain feeder has 2VS times more feeding
space per bird. This allows the chain feeder to run as few as
three times per day, while the auger must run eight or more
times per day. Chain carries the feed and supplies a uniform
ration with no waste.

FEED CONTROL...jhe
chain feeding system does
not dictate a feeding program
You are In control, feeding exactly
what Is needed, as little or as much
as you want, when you want. The
auger’s frequent running times, with
stops and starts, can interrupt birds during
peak laying periods.
EGG SIZE and QUALITY. ..Birds that eat properly lay larger
eggs. The price on large vs. medium makes a world of difference
The chain feeder allows an early feeding, then ample time for
the hen to lay before the next feeding. With an auger feeder, hens
fight for feeding space, spend much more time than necessary at
the feeder, and create unwanted activity In the cage. The results are
smaller eggs and more crax and chex. Profits go down. Put a
pencil on it.
REPAIR and MAINTENANCE...The hardest thing about repairing a chain
feeder is remembering where you left the hammer and chain breaker tool
some months back. With an auger system the need for a welder, torch
and grinder is almost routine. Downtime is up, and repair hours and
expenses rise with it.
THE TEST of TIME...The chain feeder seems never to wear out. Some
thirty year old units are still performing every day. On the other hand,
the auger system is “short term,” with time as it’s enemy. Our goal is to
help you make a profit, and chain feeding plays a leading role.
STILL NUMBER
No matter what you have heard from our
competition, Big Dutchman is still Number
One, with the best cage system by far. Locally
some Big Dutchman systems are approaching
their twentieth year of service, and still going
strong.

STRENGTH...The wrap-around single piece
construction of our heavy duty front, top and
back makes our cage stronger.
GALVANIZING METHOD...The formed bottom
and back are completely double galvanized. In
addition, we double galvanize every cage
partition completely, from top to bottom for
the ultimate in protection from rust and for
longer service life. Double galvanizing actually
provides more than three times as much zinc,
compared to single galvanizing.
CONTROL...Our cage is designed and con
structed to control egg roll, significantly
reducing crax and chex and providing cleaner
eggs.
