yes the cages are made out metal and painted white . build to last life time and not to be moved so often .
you can make them out of pvs too .they will be lighter to move around .

new photos of my roosters ,all over a year old now ,looking great .they are in better shape compare to the hens ,guess they don t lay eggs ,that why they still looking good .they do do much at all ,except fighting when they get board . love my roosters ,many of my friend ask me why did I kept so many rooster 60 of them .my answer is I like my roosters very much .I think they are gorgeous .
here is my favorite rooster

his Sire is BCM pure import line very big rooster ,his Dam is BCM from Liza s, very big hen . he is the biggest cockerel I ever raised . gentle and bossy .no one mess around with him .he just dethrone Blackgen from a top spot .now he is the king over 16 roosters. great
problem with him is = his tail is open when looked from the rear . his comb has side sprig . very easy stuff to breed out .every thing else is perfect .
name him, Conan the Barbarian { CTB }. he will be a year old in 3 days .
