Chick Paper

Chick paper is rolled out under the drinkers and in the feeding areas and sprinkled with chick crumbs. As the first chicks walk on the paper it emits a rustling sound, encouraging more chicks onto the paper and to the precise area where feed and water is readily available.

The paper has a roughened surface to prevent leg problems and is highly absorbent to quickly soak up droppings. As a result, chicks are less likely to peck at the droppings, which in turn promotes a more hygienic environment, and has proven to reduce first week mortality and enhance uniformity.
