Carfed SA, worldwide Swiss-Italian manufacturer of live chicken and turkey plastic coops, has developed a basket measuring 110/108 x 58 x 27 centimeters, without a side door nor a top, to be used like a drawer in collapsible metal frames. The baskets are collapsible to allow shipping overseas at cheap freight rates. Advantages include less bruising/damaging to birds, quicker loading/unloading operations and better working conditions for workmen. The baskets are also available with solid bottoms and in the size 108/97 x 58 x 42 centimeters for turkeys.
