Full details
The vidaXL Chicken Cage is an ideal outdoor enclosure for small animal owners, such as those raising hens, ducks, or chickens, who need a secure, well-ventilated space for exercise and rest. It offers a generous footprint with a modular design to ensure your pets have ample room to move, though users should be mindful that its galvanized steel construction requires proactive maintenance, particularly during heavy snowfall, to maintain structural integrity.

FAQs
Is the chicken cage fox-proof?
The cage features a secure, lockable latch, but we recommend reinforcing the bottom perimeter or burying the edges if you are concerned about digging predators.
Does this cage come with a cover?
This model features a mesh design for ventilation and does not include a solid roof cover. You may add a tarp if protection from direct rain is needed.
Can this be used for rabbits?
Yes, it is suitable for small animals including rabbits, provided they are supervised and protected from extreme temperatures.
What tools are needed for assembly?
Standard hand tools such as a screwdriver or a basic wrench set are typically sufficient to secure the frame panels.
Can I extend this cage further?
The set includes an extension cage; however, it is not designed for indefinite modular expansion beyond the provided parts.
How often should I clean the cage?
Cleaning frequency depends on the number of animals inside, but we recommend removing waste and tidying the interior at least once a week to maintain a healthy environment.
Troubleshooting
Door latch is sticking
Check if the frame is perfectly level on the ground; adjust the placement to ensure the door aligns correctly with the latch hardware.
Visible signs of rust
Clean the affected area with a soft brush and apply a clear coat of rust-inhibiting spray if the galvanized finish has been scratched.
Roof sagging during winter
Immediately remove snow accumulation with a soft broom and consider installing additional temporary support beams if you live in an area with heavy, wet snowfall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup requires basic tools and a level surface to ensure the door mechanism functions correctly. The cage is designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation on soil or grass. For care, the galvanized steel is resistant to rust, but you should periodically inspect the latch and hinges for smooth operation. Ensure the ground beneath the cage is level to prevent gaps between the bottom frame and the grass where small animals might attempt to dig. Always keep the enclosure free of debris and ensure the latch is fully engaged before leaving the animals unattended.
