    Free Quail Cages

    I have 3 quail cages that I no longer need. I build these using renegade ridge farms designs and modified them a bit. Shipping would be cost prohibitive, so I'm looking for someone to come pick them up. All three should fit easily in the back of a pick up truck. This is the first thing...
