Just want to mention that those breeding cages Tony has for sale on this website are a GOOD deal.The price of them was fine when I first checked them out,but then when I found out how much it would cost to ship them to westcoast Canada(another 250$ or more with duty),decided to build them myself as I like working with my hands and making stuff.Want to build 12 individual nestcages.The plywood ones I used last spring are just too hard to keep clean,so bought all the materials I need and man,,,already spent over $500.Got 4 built now and they are nice but the labour and materials that goes into making them makes it a real deal to buy them readymade from these guys that sell them.And hey it's a real pleasure being able to look into the breeder loft and see what each pair is doing.
That's an honest plug for ya T.
In the sport,
Kelly.
Not breeding the rollers yet these are my white racers I'm doing everything I can to get them pumping out eggs for a spring ready flock.

Thanks Kel, I have one in stock now that can ship via UPS. I really like this type alot, they are easy to clean and observing the birds activity is easy.
I have tried all the homemade stuff and this by far has worked best for me. Later!

Oye,
It's alot of work but got three eggs already in the first stack of 4 cages.Almost finished the second stack which will go into the roller loft,then one more stack to go.I've made 'em pretty nice with the trays and the works,but if I ever had to do it again I'd buy them premade FOR SURE.Yours must be made in good ol China for them to be so cheap.
Yits,
Kel.

I have the same ones they are great! the only thing I did was split the two halfs top and bottom and make a wood stand for them.Hate trying to get in and out of the bottom one.
