16" Chick Tray

Save your bedding. Save your sanity. The 16" Chick Tray creates a designated dining zone that catches scatter, scratches, and drips so the rest of your brooder stays clean and dry. Low 1.75" lip keeps the mess in and tiny legs stepping easy.

Who It’s For

New keepers taming first-week chaos and veteran hatchers who are done vacuuming feed dust out of every corner.

What It Does / Why It Works

• Contain the chaos: Keeps feed fling and water drips in one easy-clean circle.

• Training wheels for manners: Park feeder/waterer on the tray so chicks learn where meals happen.

• Brooder-friendly fit: Plays nice with most chick feeders and small waterers.

Size & Specs

• Diameter: 16" (≈ 40.6 cm)

• Lip height: 1.75" (≈ 4.4 cm)

• Profile: Low-lip, lightweight, smooth easy-clean surface

How to Use / What to Expect

1. Place smart: Set the tray on a level spot near—not under—your heat source.

2. Center the gear: Put your chick feeder and/or small waterer on the tray.

3. Optional liner: Thin paper towel or a dusting of dry bedding to catch drips; toss and replace as needed.

4. Daily refresh: Shake out crumbs, wipe, and reset. Less bedding used, less scrub time.
   Heads-up: This is a catch tray, not a water dish—don’t fill it with standing water.

Care & Cleaning

Dump crumbs, wipe with mild soap or a dilute white-vinegar rinse, then rinse thoroughly. Air-dry before resetting.

Shipping & Timing

Ships with your farm-supply order. If your cart includes print-on-demand gear, those items ship separately.

“If your brooder looks like a cereal explosion, your feeder’s too low. Raise it to chick-back height and let the tray catch the rest.”
