Its galvanized-steel construction resists rust in wet environments and the flat-back design lets you mount it to a work surface so it stays put while you work. Hemmed edges improve safety, and the smooth funnel shape helps guide the bird into position while remaining straightforward to clean between uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cone keep poultry secure during processing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cone's tapered funnel shape gently cradles a bird in an upright position, limiting movement without sharp edges. A flat back lets you attach the cone to a bench or frame so it remains stable during handling. The hemmed rim reduces snagging and the smooth interior makes it easier to position birds quickly and consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFunnel shape centers and restricts lateral movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat back for secure mounting to a work surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHemmed edges protect handlers and feathers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth interior eases insertion and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat birds fit this medium cone and what are the size limits?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cone is intended for medium-sized chickens and similar poultry up to about 8 pounds—ideal for many large layers, standard broilers and roasters. Very broad-chested adult breeds or larger turkeys and Cornish-type birds may not pass through comfortably. If your flock regularly exceeds 8 pounds, choose a larger cone to avoid stressing the bird.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest for large layers, broilers, dual-purpose breeds under 8 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot recommended for broad-breasted adults over 8 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeasure chest width and head size before purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned with homestead and small-scale processing in mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the galvanized steel construction help on a busy farm?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGalvanized steel stands up to moisture, frequent cleaning and farm conditions better than raw steel.

Rinse off solids immediately, scrub with a mild detergent if needed, and dry to minimize standing moisture.

The Holdly Medium Size Chicken Cone is aimed at backyard poultry keepers, hobby farmers and small-scale processors who need a reliable, easy-to-clean restraining tool for birds up to about 8 pounds. If you process standard layers, roasters or broilers and want a sturdy, galvanized cone you can mount to a bench or frame, this model offers a practical, durable option. For routinely larger or broad-breasted birds, consider a larger-size cone to ensure a correct fit and comfortable handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What weight of bird fits the Holdly medium cone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It fits most chickens and poultry up to about 8 pounds; larger, broad-breasted birds may not pass through comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I mount this cone to my processing table?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the flat-back design is made to attach securely to a board or frame for stable, hands-free use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Holdly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56842262479188,"sku":"B0CPJ787GZ","price":139.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/holdly-front-view-medium-chicken-cone_39fa0c6b-a334-413c-9eba-6192e3f0f5e9.jpg?v=1787076587","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/holdly-galvanized-steel-poultry-restraining-cone-for-chickens-medium-up-to-8-lb-flat-back-hemmed-edges","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
