Posted May 30, 201014 yr Hi just finshed building 4 breeding cabinets with nest boxes just want to know if there okay and could there be any improvment on them? There made out of 18mm ply wood 600 wide 450 high 450 deep with side out trays. Here are some pics..... cheers
May 30, 201014 yr Excellent job !! :fingerscrossed: I would shift the drinker up to the top perch as it will get pooped in where it is.
May 30, 201014 yr Author thanks for that kaz i put two 16mm dowles in there and one tree branch is that okay or should i take the tree branch out.I was thinking of getting the seed feeders that go outside. does anyone know where i can get them from? cheers
May 30, 201014 yr Fantastic! You have made them beautifuly May I suggest adding short sides to the nest box insert to prevent nesting material falling out if you want to pull it out when chicks or eggs are in there :fingerscrossed:

May 30, 201014 yr Wow so clever. I'm just about to make some breeding cages and boxes also. Your cages look great. Where did you get your cage front from? Did you have to get them specially made?
May 30, 201014 yr Author got the cage fronts off a friend and made the cabinets to suit its good when you got access to a panel saw lol cheers
May 31, 201014 yr Author Thanks for your comments guys. Does anyone know wheres the best palce to buy seed feeders that go on the outside of the breeding cage? Cheers
May 31, 201014 yr Thanks for your comments guys. Does anyone know wheres the best palce to buy seed feeders that go on the outside of the breeding cage? Cheers Those ones have such a small spout its easy for them to get clogged up. You are better getting the jar feeders with the plastic bases and putting it on the floor of the cage.
May 31, 201014 yr Kaz you got any pictures of them and where can i get them from? cheers we get ours through the bcv and at the sheids events im not sure where you would get yours in sa but im sure the club would know but they are great

October 7, 201014 yr I've just built some nestboxes and now I'm onto my breeding cabinets. What methods do you guys use to attach the wire front to the cabinet. Do you use pleats, horseshoe nails or some other method?
