thats a good idea to keep the birds off the drinkers.

looks to me to be very well built, but it also looks like it would be hard to clean. I dont think those fronts come off, do they?

Your right Butch it is a pain,and a design flaw, next project will be removable fronts, I mainly posted it to show the layout.

Thanks Scott, appreciate it. Do you find 18" high is sufficient? Anything else you would change from a design point (other than removable fronts? i.e. wire floors, etc).

Bigger is allways better Rod, I certainly wouldn't go smaller although many do, deminsions are fine, I like the elevated nest areas as it forces the birds to move around,keeps youngsters out of the next rounds nest and opens up floor space, I also stagger opening up the boxes to the fly pen.
I use wood pellets for litter and prefere that over wire, I use a large 8" scraper for cleaning,it would be much easier if I could remove the fronts for sure.
Some guys have the ideal, which are walk in ind. they build then narrow (2') in a covered area.

Thanks Scott, I've been holding off building breeding cages for my bellnecks & I think this design will fit the bill. I'm going to make a removable front as well. Thanks for sharing ideas.
