I have seen them at the Pedlers Mall. They were $4 ea in a booth. You might find them for less if you go through the whole place (I found one for a $1 that the bottom was cracked). The laundry baskets that dawnwinds said do work, we used that till my hubby build nest boxes. Storage totes would work also or ever cardboard boxes.
The tubs stayed to moist inside for us. The straw bedding started to mold from the humidity and the damp of feathers. Cardboard came apart quickly when the hens were damp. Depending on if you only want the crates, how much you want to spend, how many you need, and how close you are to Lexington, you might try Lexington Container.

We get different things from them every so often, but it works better if several people in need of things go together and with a trailer. They share the cost of fuel to get them. Just an idea you might want to consider if several people need them.
