16" Chick Tray

Good news for your floors and your sanity: this 16-inch chick tray creates a defined “dining zone” that catches feed scatter and water drips so the rest of your brooder can stay clean and dry. The low 1.75" lip keeps messes inside while staying easy for tiny legs to step over. Set a feeder and/or waterer on the tray and watch your bedding last longer, your cleanup get faster, and your chicks learn where meals actually happen (and where they don’t).

At-a-Glance

• Size: 16" diameter × 1.75" tall (≈ 40.6 cm × 4.4 cm)

• Purpose: Contains scatter, drips, and scratches in one easy-clean zone

• Fit: Works with most chick feeders and small waterers

• Use: Brooders, grow-out pens, or under a small roost bar during training

Who It’s For

New keepers who want less chaos in the brooder, and experienced hatchers who are done vacuuming feed dust out of every corner.

What’s Included / Specs

• 1 × 16" round tray, low-lip profile (1.75" tall)

• Smooth, easy-clean surface; no fussy parts

• Lightweight; easy to move for daily refreshes

How to Use / What to Expect

1. Place Smart: Set the tray on a level surface near (not under) your heat source.

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

3. Optional Liner: Add a thin layer of paper towel or a dusting of dry bedding to absorb drips—toss and replace as needed.

4. Daily Refresh: Shake out feed dust, wipe, and reset. You’ll use less bedding and spend less time scrubbing the whole brooder.

5. Heads-up: This is a catch tray, not a water dish. Don’t fill the tray with standing water.

Care & Cleaning

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

“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.”
