All done!!! Cage is 4ft x 2ft and 2ft high. Attached it to my wooden fence so it's off the ground and out of the way.
 
Mine isn't nearly as fancy as some of yalls but it works! pvc pipe feeder and grit next to it in the small container. I added the straw to help their feet out. They have a dust bathing bowl but I took it out for the pics.

Nothing too fancy here, just recycled some 30"x36" rabbit cages that are sitting in PVC frames 3 feet off the ground and surrounded on the top, back and sides by camo tarps. I live in a residential neighborhood so I am trying to keep a low profile.

Static chaos, thats neat. how many do you keep in each of the cages? i added a rabbit cage like those (just one) on the side of mines hutch and they dont go in it.. and if i do put them over in it most run back to the hutch right away and one couldnt find the hole back to the hutch **eye roll**

I keep 5 in the 30x36 cages and one of the 30x36 cages has a divider so it is essentially two 18x30 cages so I only keep 3 in each of those two. I figured if I started them in this type of cage, they would not know anything else. I put straw in one back corner so they have a place to get up off the wire, and a dusting bowl in the other back corner. I also use the rabbit feeders that are made for the young that keep the mother out. There is a slide out tray for re-filling and 6 individual holes so each bird can get in and feed and there is very little waste because the food all stays inside the feeder. They seem to like the setup.



 
Here are my 2 updated pens. One is my old purina mills plans chicken house that I built a few years ago with a new hardware cloth door, and the other ground pen I already posted a photo of but wanted to show the updated window screen cushion since they injured themselves when a fox tried to get in their first night out. Their wings are clipped also.

Are you liking these feeders? Pros? Cons?
