breeding cages

[Jayburd]

What do people find is the best size for breeding cages?
I have some of the common rectangular black cages seen at sales and pet shops, about 2ft long, and 1ft deep.
I have thought about joining 2 of these together, but it's ungainly and hard to move when I do that.

So I'm thinking of making some.
and also, I've seen a lot of different hospital cages, is the 'normal', commonly used square one the best?

Sometimes a row of breeding cages with slide in barriers between them can make a very usefull holding flight, or nursery cage.

I've always found the square hospital cage makes it easier to maintain an even temperature, while still allowing the birds to move toward or away from the heat source as they deem necessary.
as to saying which is actually best, I'm sure you will get a lot of differing reasons for & against each style.
