ABSTRACT:
A safety device (6), particularly for chicks in automatic poultry feeders with feed troughs (10), in which a feed chain (5) runs in an endless loop. The safety device is designed for placing in those sections of the poultry feeder where the feed chain (5) enters a device such as a feed machine or a corner piece (12), or if one is provided, a food cleaner. The safety device (6) comprises a down-stream roller (1) relative to the direction of travel (R) of the feed chain (5), and an up-stream roller (2). The down-stream roller (1) is driven by the feed chain (5) and transmits, in turn, rotation to the up-stream roller (2), for the purpose of ejecting any chicks up and out of the feed troughs (10).
