jomaxsmith Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Can someone help me identify the correct term for something I own. When we bought the Eglu (secondhand) the seller also gave us a large plastic crate/cage with a trapdoor which is presumably meant for transporting chooks although it doesn't look tall enough inside. I won't be using it as I would prefer to transport them in a dark box with a solid floor (to contain the poo!) so will think about eBaying it. I haven't got a clue how to describe it though! Any help appreciated Thanks Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I have no idea- but could it be a broody cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 It looks a bit like the trays bread are delivered in but with the plastic mesh all over. I'd post a pic but my camera is a bit ill at the moment! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomaxsmith Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Pigeon crate would make sense - will look some up to see! Thanks Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 does it look like this? this is a stackable poultry crate (sold on ascott farm supplies) hubby uses something similar for his job of chicken catching - he calls them "modules" as they stack on an artic lorry.

jomaxsmith Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 It looks exactly like that, thanks. Do you think I could sell it? Silly question really - some people will buy anything! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Why not donate it to the BHWT.....I think that is similar to the crates they use for rescues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that's a good idea, I'll find out where the most local rescue co-ordinator is Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
