So sorry you lost those beautiful birds. I often thought about whether varmints might bite toes through the wire. Seems like so far the predators here mostly stay down by the river. I did have one guinea hen disappear without a trace.
The smaller wire doesn't let the poo fall through. I use it for chick brooders. I was thinking maybe close in the part under the cages with wire, and a door added down there for clean out.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe putting a "false bottom" on the brooders. 1/2" for walking on , then 1/4" below that maybe 2 or 3 inches. Adds a lot of cost but in my case the best alternative.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe putting a "false bottom" on the borders. 1/2" for walking on , then 1/4" below that maybe 2 or 3 inches. Adds a lot of cost but in my case the best alternative.

I was thinking of that after the coon killed a quail in my barn( i was out and hubby doesn't close stuff up)

Well if there is space between, why do you need 1/4", they can't get their paws in there with 1/2 " and the toes are not that long, right?

Yeah, i loss my birds the day after my neighbor quit taking care of them for me. I was glad it happened on my watch...he would never had forgiven himself for that happening on his watch.
