35 cm Chick Feeding Plate

Product Overview

The 35 cm chick feeding plate is a mid-size round start tray aimed at the first week of chick life, when small flocks need ground-level feed spread wide enough for every bird to find it. At 35 cm across it balances compact pen fit with generous feeding edge, and it is offered in both white and red so buyers can match house color coding or personal preference. The 3 cm rim keeps starter crumbles inside while staying low enough for day-old birds to step onto.

Each plate weighs 144 g, light on the hand but stiff enough not to buckle when walked on by growing chicks. The dotted anti-slip floor is the same texture used across the plate range, keeping feed flat instead of sliding to the center. Boxes pack 200 pieces per box, giving medium farms a carton size that lands without needing extra handling equipment. The dual-color offer also lets farms code starter zones by pen age. Keeping separate colors for young and slightly older chicks also makes daily pen checks faster.

Key Features and Benefits

• Choice of white or red - color-code starter zones or choose the finish that suits your brooder house lighting.
• 35 cm balanced diameter - fits small pens while giving a long feeding perimeter for a starter flock.
• 3 cm low rim - easy for newly hatched chicks to step over, yet high enough to hold crumbles inside the dish.
• Light 144 g weight - fast to move, wash and stack during daily brooder checks and flock changes.
• Dotted anti-slip floor - keeps crumbles spread evenly, reducing feed competition and waste at the edge.
• 200 pieces per box - predictable carton count simplifies farm ordering and resale stock control.

Materials and Quality

Both the white and red versions are molded from smooth rigid plastic with controlled pigment loading, so the two colors come from the same tooling and share the same wall thickness. The dotted feeding surface and the rolled rim form together in one molding step, meaning there are no assembled joints to fail after repeated wash cycles. Weighing samples against the printed 144 g is part of the outgoing check, and cartons are counted to the 200-piece label before sealing, so color variants stay interchangeable on the farm. The pigmented plastic keeps its shade after washing seasons, so trays do not turn patchy under brooder lights. Consistent color also makes it easier to spot foreign objects dropped onto the tray during checks.

How to Use and Maintain

Lay the plate on the brooder floor and cover the dotted area with a thin layer of starter mash or crumbles. Position one plate per recommended chick count at equal spacing so all birds stay within short walking distance of feed. For cleaning, dump leftover feed, scrub with warm water and mild soap, then nest plates to drain. White plates show feed residue clearly, so they make spotting missed cleaning easier during inspection rounds, and any cracked rim can be replaced from a spare set. White plates show spills clearly from the aisle, while red plates blend into busy litter areas. Either color serves the same starter purpose, so choice mostly comes down to inspection preference.

Applications

This plate is a standard starter feeder for layer pullets, broiler chicks and backyard mixed flocks in their first week. It is popular with small family farms and hobby growers that raise a few hundred chicks per season, and it works well in mixed pens where ducks or poults share the same ground feeders.

Dealers and equipment stores stock both colors because customers often ask for white trays in bright brooder rooms and red trays for general starter use. The plate also serves as spare replacement equipment for existing round-plate brooding systems, fitting neatly beside drinker bases in a starter kit. Because the 144 g dish is light, children and elderly farm workers can handle it without strain. The light dish also suits mobile brooder setups moved between sheds each season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Which colors can I order?

This 35 cm plate is supplied in white and red. You can specify a single color or split a container order between both finishes.

Q2: How heavy is one plate?

Each finished plate weighs 144 g, and 200 plates are packed into one box, making carton counts easy for receiving.

Q3: Does the dotted surface help chicks?

Yes. The dotted texture keeps crumbles spread flat instead of sliding into a pile at the center, so weaker chicks still reach feed.

Q4: Can white and red plates be mixed in one box?

Boxes are packed to the labeled 200-piece count; discuss mixed-color cartons with our sales team when placing the order. Single-color boxes keep warehouse picking simple; mixed orders are planned case by case. We can advise which color runs more often in your market when you send the enquiry. Both colors ship from the same production line, so lead times stay similar. Either color choice keeps the same feeding performance on the brooder floor.
