Hi
My fiend Shawn is a cabinet maker and works at the local cabinet building shop. He often buys from them the damage sheets of material that come in. Him and I set down this summer to design some new breeding cages for pairs and trios. The cages are large enough to hold a pair of large birds like my big Wyandottes or a trio of normal size standards. They are great for trios or quads of bantams. So far he has made 4 units for me (each is 3 units tall = 12 cages). He has also made 4 units for himself. Being only 5 foot 8 inches tall (he is 6 feet +) the top unit is a little tall for me. I use a two step stepladder to handle it. Each box is wired to use one of those 13 watt energy saver bulbs. They are all on a timer for 18 hours a day. I forgot to take the measurements today. I will take them tomorrow and add them to this post tomorrow. Each unit has two doors so the whole front of the unit opens up for easy cleaning. One door is covered with wire, the other is solid to give the birds some privacy.
The first picture is of the units close up so you can see in.
The second picture is of all four units.
The top gives me a great place to store my outside summer 3 & 5 gallon waters.
I will take pictures of the inside of one tomorrow and get the unit measurements and post them.
