Built a new cage

[Dan Clark]

I recently finished my new cage. It Will let me hold more birds and will let me control breeding Better. This new cage will let me collect eggs and birds easer. Rotate birds for butchering. and I can Have more roosters without worry that they will kill each other. My old cage was a Frankenstein of a cage. It. Held up well cost next to nothing to make but it was a pain to clean, collect eggs, impossible to move, catch birds and I could only have one rooster Want a couple in case one gets hurt or can’t reproduce. Here is my old cage It was 3 ft x 8ft

my new cage is 4 cages that are built into two separate stacks so I can pick them up and move them.

here is my indoor cage for when some of my birds go in for the winter to continue laying eggs and allow me to have a growout, cage for just roosters.

Wow, that’s super nice! What is the clear roofing material you used, can you get it at a Home Depot or Lowe’s type place? I like that it can let in light.

Yes you can in roofing area

I like the clear roofing too, but think maybe some mesh on the ends might help so mice can't get inside. On the other hand, you chickens might like a snack.

You make a good point, I would probably put mesh over the top, then put roofing over the mesh, mice and stray cats are the biggest predator issues for me, and my dogs work really hard marking and chasing unwelcome cats (they’re all unwelcome) lol.

What’s the clear water jugs for? Just to let you know if you use a container that does not allow light in that will greatly reduce algae growth.

Actuly mice aren’t a problem or snakes I have more issues with raccoons
