I've been buying up used cages over the past year.
Most generally they look something like the ones
pictured below.
I try not to spend more than $10 a hole for
cages in this condition.
The same goes for the larger ones as well.
I'll disassemble them and re-build/re-purpose to suit my needs.
I'm changing all of my grow-out pens from straight to angled.
It's easier to remove the fryers once they're ready for market.
Plus, I'm going to cages no more than 24" front to back. "short-arms"
Finished cage with 4 holes 30" wide. I'll build one more just like this.
I've already got two 10 footers stored.
These narrower cages will replace the deeper grow outs.
I'll lose 2 holes per side but end up with an aisle a foot wider.
Still got to run the waterlines while they're on the saw-horses.
And cut the holes for the feeders. I'll like these much more.
