Looking for Coturnix Quail Cages

[BReeder!]

I'm looking for a source for cages for coturnix quail. I need them to have pull out bottoms for cleaning so I can keep them indoors for the winter. I'm not trying to spend $40 for a small cage either. I keeping seeing crazy prices online. I need to house at least 50 quail, so I'm thinking several cages... Where do you buy your cages? I'd love an online source to order from if possible. I also have some farm supply stores near me like Farm & Fleet, Tractor Supply and Rural King if there's a specific item there that is a bargain.

If I have to build them, I will. I was hoping to find something though because I haven't had much free time lately and winter will be here before we know it.
Also, if you are against raising them in cages/on wire I understand your point of view but lack interest in hearing about it. So please don't use this thread as the opportunity to voice your opinion against raising them on wire.

I'm just starting with quail myself. I recently built cages, as I couldn't find anything available that I wanted. There are some good videos on Youtube about building quail cages. Good Luck!

I built 1 with a wood frame and 1/2 hardware cloth. What did you use? Pics? I would like to just crimp the HC together and not have to use the wood. Getting thick enough gauge at big box stores seems impossible though. I am thinking 16 gauge galvanized 1/2"x1" if I end up building the indoor ones.

I used wood...……..I had some old used pine lumber that I ripped into 1 X 2 and used that with 1/2 inch hardware cloth. I will get a picture and send it.
