ABSTRACT:
A cage front for use in poultry cages for the rearing of fowl from their first day to market age having a plurality of bifurcated bars mounted in vertical, adjacent positions to form the cage front. The bars are equally spaced horizontally and are aligned to form a symmetrical pattern of openings. Each bar has a straight stem section with a pair of downwardly extending legs which have a sinuous or curved configuration. This configuration forms a plurality of alternating vertical openings and constrictions between the legs and bars, with the widest vertical openings in the area of the upper stem sections. In an alternate configuration, the width of the legs are increased toward their ends so that the openings are tapered and decrease in width towards the floor of the cage. The series of vertical openings thus allow poultry of various sizes or species to extend their head through the cage front without restricting the raising of the head during the feeding and watering process. In addition, no horizontal surfaces are provided which would allow the poultry to climb the cage front to escape from the larger upper openings.
