How do you build wire cages for poultry?

I used 1/2 X 1 welded wire for the top and bottom, and 1 X 1 for the sides.
They are 30 X 30 X 24, and the sides are all one piece that I bent.
I got my wire at a local hardware store, and the "J" clips also, but they can be purchased online also.
You need special pliers for the J clips, but they are less than $10 most places
The frame they are sitting on is old chain link fence railing just bolted together

Thank you so very much! Great use of fence railing! I also love how you set up the bottom for easy cleaning! Great idea!

How did you do the doors on the wire cage?

Nice job on the cages, could you post pics of how the walls are connected with "J" clips and the doors? It would be greatly appreciated. They look quality all the way!
