use a round plastic swimming pool so they don't pile up in the corners and suffocate themselves.

If you have the time and a few hand tools you can make a couple cages yourself from 1" pine stock and hardware mesh.

Definitely be easier to buy a cage but I think the kids would enjoy this as well.

Oh, the memories. I raised broilers for 4-H for a few years. Man, were those some tasty birds.

Have the tools and the knowledge but not the time ...Trying to get house ready to sell, 4-h, SMTR, trail riding (can't not ride) and driving miss Daisy to the doctors oh yeah and helping with a sick horse.....
