A-Frame Cage System for Eggs
Chore-Time’s A-Frame Cage System for caged layers provides an excellent environment for egg production and maximum feed savings, together with two options for manure handling. Pullet systems are also available.
Chore-Time cages are quality-built in North America. Solid construction and heavy-duty materials combine with our innovative design for years of superior performance.
Chore-Time’s composite mesh floor uses smaller mesh openings at the front of the cages for an improved bird environment and reduced bird mortality.
Rugged A-frame stands provide durable support for Chore-Time’s A-frame cages without the need for truss rods. All system components, including cages and feed troughs, tie directly into our projection-welded A-frame cage support system for added stability and long life.
