Not sure, frenchblackcopper could probably tell you as he bought some full train males in those cages.  I think craig hopkins has a section on building tranport cages.IMAG0470.jpg

i ain't never seen anything like that before, i know most of them are going to good homes , but i feel sad when i think of them trapped like that, they are such free spirited birds.

Thanks for sharing your photos

The sad thing is that there were also taxidermy guys there buying a lot of birds for stuffing. Especially full train males.

I'm 150% with Zazouse.

It really depresses me to think that someone would buy a healthy pea just to kill and stuff.

I'm surprised that breeders, knowing the birds as well as they do (both their lineage and their personalities), would sell their birds for such a purpose.

Of course I understand that people have to make a living, but still...

Seems to me that the trains do get messed up a bit when being moved around and transported even with this kind of box and would take away from the beauty of the bird with bent and broken feathers on a stuffed peacock .

People in the business can not afford to pick and choose who buys their peas if they want to make it in the business, when i sell my birds i do not ask what they want them for, it is none of my business, but i listen if they want to tell me.

Terrific pen!  jealous - my peas would love more turning room with a full tail.  Can you share where you got your 50'x50' poultry net?

MT Hope was everything I have heard it to be and then some in numbers of birds.

Met a few nice people and unfortunately got outbid on the one peacock I really wanted. But that is how it goes. He got a good home and that is important.

Was a long trip for us and we could only stay a short time due to serious family illness. Randy and Brian are sure nice guys and we enjoyed meeting them.
Maybe we will make the trip again, hopefully the next trip will be leisure and we will actually have time to enjoy and buy something.

I did like Ziggy the Zebra who was to be auctioned off. What a friendly guy he seemed who loved to have his back rubbed. But that probably would not have went over real well if I were to come home with a Zebra.
