80 cm Chick Feeding Plate

Product Overview

The 80 cm chick feeding plate is the extra-large dish of the round start-tray series, designed for commercial brooding rooms where floor space must feed large chick groups with a minimum number of stations. At 80 cm across the plate offers a very long feeding perimeter, so chicks from a wide circle can reach starter crumbles at the same time. Its walls stand 4 cm high, slightly deeper than the 3 cm smaller dishes, which holds a deeper crumble load while still letting young birds step over the rim.

The plate is offered in white and red, both molded as one-piece round dishes with a textured anti-slip feeding floor. The large diameter makes this a floor-zone feeder rather than a small box tray; it performs well in open brooder areas where plenty of standing room surrounds each dish. The deeper 4 cm wall also means staff can pour a larger starter load before the first morning refill. Wide spacing around the dish lets chicks feed from all sides without crowding the center. Open space around the dish also gives timid chicks room to approach and retreat freely. Open space suits mixed flocks where timid and bold chicks share the dish. Shared space also reduces bullying around the feeding edge. Calmer feeding behavior is easier for staff to monitor during daily rounds.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extra-large 80 cm diameter - one dish covers a wide feeding zone, cutting the number of stations per brooder house.

• 4 cm deeper walls - holds more starter crumbles per fill and reduces feed kicked out during active feeding.

• White or red finish - color-code zones or pick high-visibility red for quick inspection from across the room.

• Anti-slip textured floor - keeps feed spread evenly across the broad dish, limiting piling in the center.

• One-piece round dish - no seams or glued parts, so the whole plate washes down quickly after each flock.

• Flexible stocking - pairs with the matching 80 cm feeding plate liner for fast wipe-down cleaning between flocks.

Materials and Quality

This extra-large plate is molded from smooth rigid plastic with a rolled rim that stiffens the wide circle. The texture pattern on the floor is pressed in the same molding pass as the dish, so it wears down with the plate rather than peeling off. Because no finished weight figure is printed on this model, buyers should treat the listed weight of the smaller plates as a reference only and confirm packing details with our sales team before ordering. The one-piece build also keeps the rim uniform around the whole circle. The textured floor pattern helps crumbles stay flat even when chicks scratch actively.

How to Use and Maintain

Set the plate on the brooder floor in an open zone with clear walking space around it, then spread starter crumbles across the textured floor to a thin even layer. Refill when exposed patches grow, and keep feed below the rim top so birds do not scratch it over the 4 cm wall. To clean, empty leftover crumbles, hose the whole dish, scrub with mild detergent, and dry before nesting storage. Keep spare dishes so a cracked rim does not pause feeding in a large room. Because the dish is large, two staff may carry it together when nesting it on the rack. Store dishes in a covered dry area so the textured floor stays in good condition between flocks. Dry storage also prevents mildew on the dish surface over long off-seasons. Covered storage also keeps rodents away from the textured floor.

Applications

The 80 cm plate serves large commercial brooder houses and pullet growing farms that feed hundreds of chicks from a few wide stations rather than many small dishes. It also suits breeder farms where easy visual control of feeding activity matters, since one wide dish is quicker to inspect than a row of small plates.

Hatchery transfer rooms use it as a landing feeder when day-old chicks move from boxes to floor pens. Equipment distributors recommend it together with the 80 cm feeding plate liner, which lets staff change the feeding surface in seconds at the start of a new flock and reduces wash-down time in large houses. Hatcheries commonly use it as the landing feeder for day-old chick transport batches.
