The “Feed Caddy” – Grower News Flash – 2010 (2021 Update)

“I have been in the Chicken Business 41 years…I have 18 houses to tend too…My work today is a full-time duty, and I need all the help I can get. If that “Feed Caddy” breaks down, and I can’t put my feed out, I would be upset…I would be fit to be tied…I have owned my “Feed Caddy” now over 15 years, and I haven’t had one minutes trouble from it…If something was to happen to this “Feed Caddy”, I would just buy another one. I got to have one now!! I don’t want to be without one. I remember all the buckets and shoveling days. Those days are over with…I’m getting better start offs, using paper and feed. I wait longer for it to fill up, than it does to put the feed out…I know my birds are eating well. They are close by the drinkers, and the birds have ample feed to last for 4 to 5 days…I put down 2 runs of paper and feed, in about 30 minutes all by myself…I use a 24 inch tire, to make a decline in the litter, ahead of the paper, to prepare a bed for the feed…I place the feed about 3/4 inches thick, on 48 inch wide paper, so the feed stays in the middle, until it’s gone…I still use feed trays, and flood feed to get the birds trained to move to the feeders…I bought the “Feed Caddy” after seeing a picture…I knew I wanted it. It’s is the best money I ever spent!! Good management practices, ventilation, and clean water along with the “Feed Caddy” system, has made the “Feed Caddy” investment a wise choice.”
To date: Repairs amount to 1-roller chain master link, grease and oil!
