The Feed Caddy. Feed the flock. Save every bird.
Quality feed spreaders that lay down a consistent line of feed the entire length of your barn — every chick eats, every flock thrives, every cycle pays you back.

Every starve-out
is a dead bird.
Sparse feed lines kill more chicks than disease in week one. The corner birds never reach the line. The aggressive birds eat first. The shy ones starve quietly while you're already onto the next chore.
We built the Feed Caddy because we got tired of watching it happen.
1-3% mortality in week 1
200-600 chicks gone before they even started.
10-20% feed waste
Spilled, piled, walked into the bedding. Pure profit on the floor.
Hours per barn, every day
Time you don't have, on a job nobody wants to do twice.
When every chick eats,
every flock thrives.

Things farms always ask.
A Feed Caddy is a pull-behind poultry placement machine. You load feed into the steel hopper and mount a roll of biodegradable brood paper, hitch the unit to a quad, a small tractor, or pull it by hand, and drive at walking pace down the barn. It lays the brood paper and an even layer of feed on top of it in a single pass, so chicks find feed the moment they are placed. A slide gate linked to ground speed keeps the feed line consistent the full length of the barn — no app, no electronics, just physics.
The Feed Caddy is Canadian built and is patented in North America and internationally. Farmers First Inc. is the worldwide distributor, selling direct to poultry operations and through appointed regional dealers. To buy one or to ask about a territory, call 204-793-5596.
Each roll of biodegradable brood paper is 40 inches wide and 820 feet long, and weighs 22 lb. Paper ships on skids of 72 rolls. The paper breaks down in the barn, so there is nothing to lift out before the next flock.
Yes. All three models are sized to clear standard 8-foot barn doors. The Model 3630 is small enough for tight starter barns, and the 4642 / 6044 fit through any production-barn opening.
A 400cc+ quad handles the Model 3630 (440 lb capacity) and the Model 4642 (1,102 lb) with ease. The Model 6044 is best pulled by a small tractor, because it carries 2,204 lb of feed. The 3630 can also be hand-pulled for very small operations.
Quality steel construction means 15+ years of barn use under normal conditions. The slide gate seal and bearings are the only wear items, and they're easy to swap.
Most orders ship in 2-3 weeks from confirmation. Spring chick season fills up our schedule fast, so order early if you need delivery before placement day.
