Its rust-resistant plastic construction, integrated feeding and watering systems, sliding manure trays, and roll-out egg collection help you manage breeding birds while keeping daily care and cleanup more organized. It's a practical option for bantam breeders, homesteaders, hatcheries, and small poultry operations that need a purpose-built breeding cage rather than a general-purpose enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike cages with galvanized wire flooring, this model uses flexible COMFORTPLAST elliptical flooring. Combined with dedicated feeders, nipple drinkers, and removable waste trays, the design brings several everyday breeding tasks into one compact, stackable system. You can also expand your setup with compatible layer additions as your breeding operation grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity for 6–12 Bantam Chickens:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two-layer configuration accommodates 3–6 smaller chickens per layer, making it suitable for managing bantam breeding groups.
