My use for them is just a few days at a time. Those we used in my youth had doors made of spaced lats providing more ventilation. Lowest pens also just below waste high while upper pens you had about shoulder height.

My guess is just winter housing since it's so cold/snowy. Too small otherwise

I will get the price list later. But being these birds are from the south..., Texas Alabama and Mississippi I want to house them in a non heated garage plus I can run vitamins and rewormed n keep a close eye on them. Since it's about zero degr es right now and one has a runny nose. It was my best option for the time of the year. I have had birds (chickens only) loose toes n get extreme frostbite. So if I can give them a better more comfortable life in a temporary smaller unit. Then I will. It is also a way to work with ur birds in one location, super easy to get at bird and show or condition. Or check. Makes introducing them to a new set of birds that much better knowing there in good condition. (Proper, preparations prevents poor performance.)

I see the tubes. Are the horizontal? Do you ever have to clean them out?

Prolly why the runny nose, pretty stuffy looking no vent

They look nice! Some of these are on my winter "to do" list. When I was a kid, I started out with a design very similar, but later modified it. As Centra wrote, having them off the ground and not too high makes things a little easier. My fronts were more wire to allow more light and ventilation in. I wish I had some pics... Two tiers of cages and instead of a solid sheet of plywood, I used two vertical 1x4"s on either side with a gap between the 1x4"'s to slide dividers in and out. This way I could put all the dividers in and have 2'x2' cages, or pull one out and make it 2'x4' and so on. They were really nice for isolating birds or even broody hens and chicks.
