Troubleshooting
Cage wobbles after setup
Ensure the cage is on a level surface and all screws are tightened securely. Adjust placement if the ground is uneven.
Ramp seems difficult for chickens to use
Ensure the ramp is securely attached and the non-slip texture is clear of debris. Younger or older birds may need time to adapt.
Water pooling inside the cage
Check that the waterproof roof is intact and free of damage. Ensure the cage is not placed in an area where water naturally collects.
Wood shows signs of wear quickly
Confirm the cage is placed under shelter as recommended. Apply a pet-safe sealant or wood treatment if needed, ensuring it's dry before birds are reintroduced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Assembly is required and is designed to be straightforward. Ensure you have a clear, level area for setup. All necessary hardware is typically included. It is recommended to have a second person assist during assembly for easier handling of larger parts.
Compatibility: This cage is primarily designed for chickens but can be suitable for other small poultry. It is recommended to place the cage under a covered structure such as a carport, overhang, or a larger coop roof to protect it from the elements and prolong its life. Ensure the ground is stable where the cage is placed.
Care: Regularly clean the pull-out tray to maintain hygiene. Wipe down the pine wood frame with a damp cloth as needed, avoiding harsh chemicals. Check the wire mesh periodically for any signs of damage or loosening. The waterproof roof should shed most water, but occasionally check for debris accumulation on top.
