Title: Poultry cage system

Abstract: An easily assembled poultry cage system wherein the framework for the system includes a plurality of spaced A-frame members all of which are adapted to be assembled without the use of conventional fasteners. Protrusions and complementary receptacles are utilized for joining, connecting and interconnecting parts of the system. Once assembled into the appropriate receptacle, the protruding member is deformed in a manner to securely fasten the respective members together. The cages are supported between A-frame members by means of wire supports secured to the A-frames, by interconnection of the cages and by means of the feed trough. The feed trough is supported by a clip member in which it is secured by a snap-fit to the spaced A-frame members.
