Chick Packaging

The Essential Guide to Safe Chick Packaging

When transporting live poultry, you must plan carefully, carry out the transport properly, and select the correct type of shipping container. Once a bird hatches, it is very sensitive to certain factors such as temperature, drafts and movement during transport to their new home. For this reason, you should make use of specialised chick boxes. Quality Chick Packaging has been specifically designed to create a comfortable, protective environment for the chicks so that they arrive at their destination healthy and able to begin growing immediately.

Prioritising Welfare during Live Poultry Transit

When transporting live animals, you want to make sure the environment is controlled. Chicks create their own body heat. This can create a problem with poorly designed containers. Cold drafts can cause chicks to freeze and stress out. Today, the Chick Manages eliminates them with vents that are selectively focused to allow a flow of fresh air that does not channel cold winds.

The purpose of air movement is to maintain internal moisture levels in the same manner that they were maintained prior to shipping. In addition, air circulation assists in preventing the birds from overheating during transport. Also, air circulation provides a means for chicks to obtain additional fresh oxygen as they travel. Purpose-built transit containers utilised by hatcheries indicate that the hatchery cares about the quality of life experienced by the birds being transported.

Key Advantages of Purpose-Built Chick Packaging

Quality live poultry shipping containers offer peace of mind to both the professional grower (hatchery) and the buyer. Listed below are some of the major reasons why professional growers choose to use quality live poultry shipping containers:

• Optimal Ventilation Control: Designed to control the temperature inside and oxygen levels using custom-made air vent controls.
• Durable Structure: Made from strong corrugated cardboard that can hold the weight of the products being shipped and stacked in transit.
• Integrated Divider Walls with Compartments: To prevent crowding and provide chicks with support while moving.

With the implementation of these distinguished capabilities in your routine shipping procedures, you will be able to ease the load on your transport systems and, in the process, can assuredly offer assurances for the secure delivery of your consignments to their final destinations.

Designed to Withstand and Maintain Optimal Temperature

Premium Chick Boxes are made from very strong moisture-resistant corrugated paperboard and are designed to stay strong and in shape in the damp environment of a hatchery. All the surfaces of the Premium Chick Box are smooth on the inside to reduce damage to the chicks, while the non-slip bottom keeps them on their feet as they move.
