Assorted stackable box cages I’ve made and my bigger grow out.. they are cheap to make and easy to move around if the need arises.

Thank you very much. Top hinged. The latches are the C-wires on each side? I see the spring but not sure how that works.I just took some pictures of the door.. I may have to wait until later to avoid the bright mornin sun.. but I’ll try to post.

I like big doors but mine are large cages. Having a mouse issue and lining everything with hardware cloth seems the best solution. My doors are old refrigerator wire shelves that let the mice slip through. Live and learn.
Wow! I’m impressed, Jim. I spent months trying to come up with a feeder solution using anything from dryer vent tubing to rain gutter tubes etc. Then I ran across your pics here and jumped out of my seat in excitement! You totally nailed it! How is it working so far and are they able to make a mess of the food thrown outside the feeder? Anything you’d do differently in hindsight?View attachment 3552548
I have had chickens for quite a while, and a friend got me into quail, so I got busy and built a cage, I looked at many pic and picked out what I liked with each one, then built this.

I built poop pans from duct metal, there are four pans.

The feeders are removable and there is a block off plate for the hole to keep everyone in.

The cage is going in the shed on the wall.

I have to finish the wall before I can hang the cage, I got to get busy!
I am going to build the water system tomorrow!
Hopefully I'll be putting quail in it by Saturday.
What do you all think.
I updated this cage and added lots to it, but I've now got a whole new cage 4x the size. I'm very proud of it.This thread is over 10 years old and still going. Wow!
Here is my quail hutch. It currently has three quail in it and I'm hatching more soon.
They are Japanese/Coturnix JumbosView attachment 3554565
Edit: it has a cloth I put over the front at night on top and a dust bath in the top right corner
