Made in England How we make our poultry show cages
Our poultry show cages are designed for showing all sizes of poultry, a large wide sliding door make it easier to fit your birds through, meaning less stress for your birds, we have thought about this poultry show cage, not just knocked it up from a photo.
1" spacing wires, less chance of the birds reaching between the bars, thicker surround wires, door wires and a thicker wire to position the divisions, HHD wire is stronger meaning we can use thiner wire on the vertical panel sections so you & the judge can see the birds clearly

Poultry show cages chamfer trimmed so no sharp edges, photo shows wire before electro galvanising
The 4mm diameter wire surround is bent round the corner like your Dad remembers poultry show cages used to be made, cheaper (not always cheaper) but more easily made cross welded corners, we can make poultry show cages like this but prefer not to!
Cross wires are "T" butt welded or "tig" welded to produce a firm wire joint which prevents the poultry show cage distorting, we don't just butt the wire up to the vertical without welding, as found in some cages.
Step by step process how to make quality show cages,
We buy wire in coils from a local British stockist, the wire does not travel too far to get to our cage factory in sunny Lancashire.
This wire is loaded onto one of our four wire straightening and cutting machines, these machines straighten the wire from the coils and cut the wire to the required length.
The cut wires are then loaded into our cnc wire mesh welding machine which then welds the wire intersections together making a mesh panel
The welded wire mesh panels are then removed from the mesh welding machine and hand finished to remove the sharp edges left by the welding process.
The show cage panels are checked for quality, then packed for transport to our zinc plating factory where they are acid etched and zinc plated to BS EN 12329:2000 then finally a clear passivate is applied, this gives a further protection layer and enhances the zinc colour.
