Which of the models would be best for Large Fowl? Say, if you were going to take 8 to show?

What breed ? Some LF males need a double coop due to long tails. LF coops come 2 holes to a section.Some LF people get away with Jap coops which are 2x2',but not as tall. How tall are your birds ? There should be a chart of sorts on the site.

The next time I make a purchase from Keipper I am going to buy their "goose" size cages. I have an old double size large fowl cage, your standard lf show cage, but it is really too small for my Wyandotte males. Not wide enough for ample room. I did order some small bantam size cages a few years back. Keipper is a nice company to do business with. You get a great product that lasts for years.

Keipper is also at the larger shows in the Midwest selling, like the Ohio National in Columbas.

If you didnt want them breaking feathers could you zip tie cardboard to metal coop for practice!!!

Even better is to zip tie plastic embroidery canvas into the bottom third or so of the cages. This keeps tails from being shredded, is easier to clean, and allows air circulation. Just google the term, you can find it lots of places (my local Wally World sells it too.) That and some small zip ties works well (can't tell you how many hours I've sat applying that stuff to cages and the insides of crates.)

I hope to one day show Silver Campines, but may also have a larger breed. I really like a big bird, but don't get into the long, flowing tails. Too "froo froo" for me.....

What's that expression? If you have to ask you can't afford it?
