Hi folks,

 

Would it be okay to use 2 breeding cabinets that are joined together as a flight/holding cage for young and non-breeding birds? They are the standard breeding cabinets that have had the divider removed.

As long as they cannot see a nestbox in the slightest possible way. An 70's yr old show breeder recently put a 12 week old and others in a similar environment and found the 12 week old hen had laid a full clutch of eggs.

Agree with Kaz :bluebudgie:

There will definitely be no nest box in sight. Strictly holding only.

 

I have a lead on a bank of 6 (3 x 2) for $50 local to me.

I have done that but I block the breeding boxes up but after one 12 week old chewed her way into the box I decided that I was going to have to remove the boxes all together

Exactly :bluebudgie:

It won't be an option as the nest boxes are hung on the front of these. They simply won't be hung on the ones used as holding cages.

All good then :boogie:
