time it takes the typical chain system. You get better
with less feed.

nk about it. In only 7 years, 1 out of 3 layers in our region and 1
[4 layers nation wide have been switched to Chore-Time with
Ho. Many farmers bought one Chore-Time house and after see

equipment with Chore-Time cages and Ultraflo feeding and are

Their Claims
18. "Extra Inches of auger, trough, cage
wire, egg belt and building per cage really
add up. Put a pencil to It."
19. “Our chain feeder seems never to wear
out. Some thirty year old units ere still per
forming, day In end day out On the other
hand some “short term" drag auger sys
tems are beginning to show their weaknes

system. Just a lltte time.”
20. “Lower maintenance costs."
21. “It’s a proven fact. Chain feeders use
less electricity."
22. “Better Performance! This Isn't Just
talk. Ask your feed company..."
23. “Re-use your old comers... re-use your
old gearboxes... Your old hoppers aren't
wore out... save money and re-use them on
your new system."
24. “(We have) a stronger esge top and
front than competitive cages."
25. “(Our) collector Is the best there Is."
26. “Our cage design allows eggs to roll
front and out of the cage, not get stepped

Our Response
While we do have extra supports, stands and cage wire, it Is
because our cage is designed to last longer. We have no more
auger, trough or egg belt than our competition. Chore-Time
cages are Installed on 8 foot centers. Our competitor recom
mends cages which are on 10 foot centers.
Although 10 foot centers save at first, cages built on 10 foot
centers have had higher maintenance costs and have not
lasted as long as cages built on 8 foot centers.
We have seen chain trough worn through in less than one
year. The chain Itself is made out of metal stock made from
scrap metal. It drags on the bottom of the trough or on top of
the feed. It has a tendency to bunch up and break expensive
corner wheels.
Ultraflo moves easily through the feed In the trough In a pre
designed “bulb" In the trough bottom. We have replaced less
than 1% of the trough and elbows in over 11 years of operation.
The poultry Industry agrees - over 80% of the major egg pro
ducers (1 million birds or more) have already switched to
Chore-Time. Send for our list of major egg producers who have
switched to Chore-Time.
Our biggest problem is lack of repair parts business. Talk to
users who have both Chore-Time and other equipment. Get the
facts about who has lower maintenance costs.
Call for our list and talk to users who have both Chore-Time
and other equipment. Get the facts about who has lower ener
gy costs.
Feed service people will tell you that Chore-Time Ultraflo out
performs flat chain. Ask them yourself. Chore-Time producers
consistently do better than their peers. That’s why most major
egg producers have switched to Chore-Time and keep on buy
ing It. (send for list of major egg producers)
Sounds like a good Idea, maybe. Save money Initially but
when you do have to replace corners, hoppers, gearboxes,
sprockets, wear shoes, etc., you will probably have to pay
parts price.
You end up paying more!
Chore-Time’s new front and top is heavier and thicker than
competition’s. In fact Chore-Time cages are over 11% heavier
than their cages. That’s over 3% tons more galvanized wire in
a typical house. Call or send for actual test results on Chore-
Time verses their cages. Or ask to see both cages side by side.
You get a choice of three collectors with Chore-Time, Includ
ing our new Ultralift, all built stronger with solid shafts, solid
rollers and galvanized steel. Our rubber finger collector elimi
nates all transfers and Isn’t as steep as other collectors.
Once again talk to the users. Our undergrades are lower
than other systems. Major egg producers would not keep
switching to Chore-Time If this was a problem, (send for list)
Our egg tray is much further away from the cage front to
keep eggs cleaner and prevent dead bird caused jam ups.
Like a lot else, you only hear this from our competitor.
Chore-Time producers say this Is ridiculous. They get the egg
size they need and do It with less feed. Check out the facts for
yourself.
