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.

Sturdy Construction

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.

Composite Mesh Floor

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.
