    Zanna Can you tell me the size of the wire spacing on those cages - if its 2" wide it looks longer than 4" - Like Walt said its stiffer than regular - very similair to folding dog cages and that is 1.75"x6" - that type of wire would be bought in sheets and not rolls.

    I use wing tags / toe punch till they get to almost breeding size then add the wide Bandettes for quick ID. You can expand them a little by sliding down a tapered punch and putting a little heat from hair dryer or heat gun. Not to much just reset the plastic a little. On the super glue keep in...

    Yes - I agree with Zanna completely on this - I only have 14 to start with and my view changes from day to day . I have decided only two are a positive cull . Some of the slow starters are maturing and passing the early good lookers. And to complicate it more we only have five pullets and one...
