ABSTRACT:
A poultry cage for accomodating most species of domesticated birds from the day of hatching to maturity having a generally rectangular, rigid, open frame structure with the sides, top and floor covered with an open mesh material. The mesh on the top surface has smaller openings than the rest to catch and retain the manure from any above cages and allow it to quickly air dry due to natural ventilation. The floor of the cage is hinged along the rear edge and includes a positional catch at each front corner to allow the floor to be held in various positions or opened and removed completely. A portion of the cage floor spaced from the front and hinged parallel to the front edge is provided to pivot upwardly so as to lean against the cage front to trap the young birds in the front portion of the cage keeping them near the source of feed and water. A portion of the cage top is hinged to permit placing or removing birds from the cage. A snap-on egg retaining trough is provided to permit productive use with egg laying poultry.
