The origin of the Chickmate® company stemmed from an idea by a progressive thinking, young farmer, Pat Awalt. The idea was conceived while he was at work in his own poultry houses in 1984. He saw a necessity to develop a more efficient method of feeding baby chickens, which is a time-consuming and laborious task. The idea was a baby chick feed dispenser that "automatically" feeds the young birds.

Manufactured of the highest-grade polyethylene available, the Chickmate allows you to gauge the amount of feed desired into your feed trays or poultry paper. Once the chicks are large enough to eat from your existing feeders, the Chickmate is easily turned up to shut off the flow of feed to the Chickmate Baby Chick Feed Dispensers.

Chickmate Baby Chick Feed Dispensers will adapt to virtually any existing feed line. Easily installed, the Chickmate allows more chicks to feed, increasing weight gain and reducing feed waste. All models will save you time, money and labor, while feeding your chicks automatically.

Over the last 15 years, 7 models of feed dispensers and 2 feed tray models have been designed and distributed worldwide. The products are manufactured and distributed from the company's facility in Buchanan, Georgia. Chickmate® continually strives to provide effective, affordable means of meeting the needs of the poultry industry.
