fitzy Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Would anyone recommend a good source for 2nd hand poultry crates? We're a small pheasant shoot where we release about 160 birds a season. Given the small number released and our location it'd be advantageous to have our own crates to transport the poults to shoot from breeder. Only need about 5. Located in NW of England/N Wales.

Stephen-H Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi fitzy give Cheshire pheasants a ring they might be able to help you out or point you in the right direction. Do you need beaters for your shoot? What part of the North West are you in cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Will try Cheshire Pheasants. Calling it a shoot sounds far grandeur than it is, an armed ramble is a better description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Our supplier of birds offered to loan us our first crates, as we only release 150 birds in our rough shoot, but wouldn’t sell us any as they last a long time and are always used, so we bought some. They come flatbpacked and aren’t expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perazzishot Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Speak to your local chicken farm, ask them to put any damaged ones aside for you. They reject for the slightest damage and they'll usually let you just take them as they'll be going in the skip anyway! Some on eBay at the moment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-plastic-poultry-crates-/223228297778 Edited January 6, 2019 by Perazzishot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Thanks for the link but Cornwall too far away I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
