Troubleshooting
Cage structure feels unstable
Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightly secured. Consider adding ground anchors or weights to the base, especially in windy locations.
Roof material appears worn or damaged
Inspect the polyethylene roof for tears or significant degradation. Minor damage might be patchable; severe damage may require roof replacement. Clean regularly to prevent debris buildup that can accelerate wear.
Gate lock is difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions around the lock mechanism. Clean and lubricate the lock if necessary. Ensure the gate is properly aligned within its frame.
Animals are digging under the cage walls
Bury the bottom edges of the cage walls slightly into the ground or place heavy objects (like rocks or bricks) along the base to deter digging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: This chicken cage requires assembly. Ensure all parts are present before beginning. Follow the included instructions carefully, typically involving connecting the steel poles and securing them with provided fasteners. It is recommended to have two people for easier assembly.
Placement: Choose a level, well-drained area for placement. Consider proximity to natural shade and protection from prevailing winds. For added stability, especially in areas prone to strong winds, consider anchoring the cage to the ground.
Compatibility: The cage is designed for small animals such as chickens, hens, ducks, and potentially rabbits or guinea pigs. It can also be used as an aviary for birds. Ensure the size and species of your animals are appropriate for the enclosure.
Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness. Clean the cage regularly to maintain hygiene. The galvanised steel may benefit from occasional cleaning to prevent excessive rust. The polyethylene roof should be cleaned of debris to maintain its water-resistant properties.
