Starter vs Follower Units – What’s the difference?
Starter units are standalone cage systems that come complete with the Poltek 5lt Water Tank per tier, and 2 drinking nipples and drip cups per partition, along with all the necessary end panels, support structures and features. They form the foundation of your laying cage setup.
Follower units are expansion modules designed to connect to an existing starter unit. They share side panels and structure with the starter unit, making them more cost-effective and space-efficient when expanding your system.
Optional Extras
Manure Sheets: Installed beneath each tier to deflect droppings, protecting lower birds and simplifying cleanup.
Step Rails: Assist with safely reaching higher tiers during feeding, inspection, or egg collection.
