They want $350 for some old breeding cages they found in a shed they bought.
theres roughly 15 of them.
12 are 28"x48" and 3 are 36"x48" all built in one.
Im interested in them for my pigeons and chickens.
Are they worth $350?
thry look nice and all, but Ive never built anything, so I have no idea if its worth it or not.

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

Well judging by the wire they used, it's old shelving from a pantry, so it would definitely be a sturdy cage. It doesn't seem like a bad price considering for all the lumber and wire required to build cages seperate like that.. they cost a pretty penny as well as quite a few hours labor. From the picture it looks decently priced. I bought a 4X7 ft house for my chickens and it cost me 150.00 gas money and 300.00 to even load it. So it looks pretty decent, but checking it out in person would definitely be a good idea too.
