Anti Cockerel Grill FAQs

What is an anti‑cockerel grill on a flat‑chain feeder?

An anti‑cockerel grill or ‘toast rack’ is a metal barrier fitted over the feed trough of a flat‑chain system to restrict access by larger birds, typically cockerels, while still allowing hens to feed freely.

Why are anti‑cockerel grills used in breeder houses?

They prevent cockerels from over‑consuming hen feed, which helps maintain correct bodyweight profiles, improves fertility, and stops dominant males from pushing hens away from the chain.

How does the grill improve feed distribution along the chain?

By stopping cockerels from crowding the trough, the grill ensures more uniform access for hens, reducing selective feeding and helping achieve consistent flock condition.

Does installing an anti‑cockerel grill affect chain performance or feed flow?

When correctly fitted, the grill does not interfere with chain movement or feed delivery. It simply limits vertical access, so the chain runs normally and feed levels remain stable.

What factors should be checked when setting up an anti‑cockerel grill?

Spacing and height must match the hen’s head and neck size, the grill must be aligned so it doesn’t rub the chain, and the system should be monitored during the first few days to confirm hens are feeding comfortably.
