The bottom is about 4' off the ground, now add 2' of wire height, so six feet to top, I am 5' 4", I tried to reach over the edge yesterday, Nope can reach the bottom of cage... Told him he could build me a stool now!!!! DD says well there is a plastic milk crate right there use it for a stool, Nope want a fancy wood one now.;) There will not be a lid on the cage, if they get big enough to fly to top, well out they will go and graduate to the floor. Yes lots of pictures will come your way :) As for the names No you can't just call them a number, I have so many and that works for me except for my favorites, but you they need names, are you keeping any?? or selling all??

Yeah I'm naming mine by their tags. First will be SHK C1, SHK C2, SHK C3, etc, etc

C is this year number for the NKR but was last years number for the NDGA so little C1 will share a name with my first Kiko. ha

I have been in contact with the original breeder of these girls, She tells me they are waiting for VALENTINES DAY, :idunno, but I sure hope that if this is true that DH doesn't think it will get him out of buying me chocolate and flowers and a card, :lol: :lol:,, They were standing there this AM when I went to check on them with really mad faces, :somad, Because we moved the hay feeder, So they went into barn and started eating their cracked corn instead of making that long trip to the hay. But it is pure alfalfa hay, so don't think they will be able to with stand holding out for to long, :plbb. By the way I noticed the other day, you posted on a site that they charge $17.00 dollars per bale for alfalfa hay in your area, You really need to come here and get your hay,
as the highest we have paid this year was $5.00 per bale, and it is anywhere between 16-20% protien. Now not to change the subject but I really like doeling #3, and you need to give her a name, If it helps I have already, I call her Shasta, after one of the silkies we have. But if you don't like that well then you give her a name ;) I think she is my favorite :drool
