ABSTRACT:
A movable chick guard adapted for use with a conveyor feeder of the type having a conveying chain movable in a feed trough, includes a bracket, an elongated kicker member having an upturned forward end, and a depending leg member secured at the rear end of the kicker member to the bracket. The kicker member is pivotally secured to the bracket for movement between a first position at which it rides on the conveying chain to kick small chicks off the conveying chain and a second position at which it lies on a conveyor corner housing. When in the second position, the kicker member tends to keep mature chickens from sitting on the housing and the depending leg member blocks the opening to the housing.
