Does anyone know where I could find a section of the old "battery" style laying cages where the egg rollsout the front?
Have several young laying hens that have all gone broody, I used them in the past to break hens out of broody-ness
Willing to drive as I know they're not popular anymore.

Re: Wire chicken cage
Not much help, I'm afraid, but if you had some plastic milk crates, you could make some stackable nesting boxes for everyone like this: http://petdiys.com/milk-crate-nesting-box/

Re: Wire chicken cage
Thanks, but not looking for extra nesting boxes at the moment.
I've used these wire cages in the past to break hens out of their broodiness over the course of about 5 days to a week i think, its been awhile
Think of it more as "jail" without comforts like straw or a dark place to lay.
