ABSTRACT:
A poultry conveyor means is disclosed herein and comprises a starting ramp conveyor which is adapted to be positioned in a poultry house or the like and which is adapted to convey poultry onto a second conveyor. A decoy cage is positioned at one side of the second conveyor to encourage the poultry to move onto the conveyor. The second conveyor is pivotally connected to a third conveyor which extends upwardly therefrom and which has its upper end pivotally and rotatably connected to a pedestal which extends upwardly from a trailer or the like. A fourth conveyor is also pivotally and rotatably connected to the upper end of the pedestal and extends outwardly therefrom. A fifth conveyor is slidably and rotatably secured to the outer end of the fourth conveyor and has a hood at the outer end thereof which is adapted to facilitate the positioning of the poultry into coops on a coop truck or the like. The operation of the conveyors may be controlled by a person on the coop truck by means of a control box provided at the outer end of the fifth conveyor. The connection of the various conveyors permits the conveyors to be selectively positioned with respect to the poultry house and the coop truck so that the poultry will be conveyed along the various conveyors upwardly to the coop truck. The conveyors may be stored on the trailer to permit the entire apparatus to be easily transported from one location to another location.
