WTB - Chicken crates or cages - like they use in shows

These are the cheapest ones i have found. I was at the Ohio Natl and got a really nice one for 2o bucks, but that was hard to find, they are usually $30-$100

 

Trey are not hard to make if you are just transporting chickens.at most farmers co-op or tractor supply they have wire used for rabbit cages and you get J clips and J clip pliers cut it out and put it together. that lets you make them to what ever size you want. you will have to make some sort of latch for the door I just use a piece of wire

 

These are a great deal. I had 2 delivered right to my house, I wish I had gotten a couple more.

I use vegetable crates from local fruit and vegatable stands/markets. The link below is basically what they are.

The only difference is that most stands give them away FREE. I have even picked them up at grocery stores. Check around, what could it hurt.

The normal size crates will hold 1-2 standard hens depending on size.

I have also used tomatoe boxes. These are the same size as the crates, but are cardboard with solid bottoms. A handful of shavings to prevent slipping and sliding is all that is needed.
