Kim: Check thrift stores for used dog crates. The wire ones are often missing the bottom pans, which must break easily, and go cheap w/o them. You can also build a cage pretty easy but, unless someone knows a source for wire that I don't, you won't save any money by building your own, cage wire is pricey. I'm not sure hand feeding treats will help with a biter though, since reaching for your hand/arm with his beak is the behavior you are trying to stop. Now if you can find something unpleasant for him to grab when he goes for your hand, so that he punishes himself when he does it, that might discourage him. I'm not sure exactly what - I can't think of too many things that chickens find nasty - but I do remember Jeanine saying once that she broke an egg-eater with an egg filled with Dawn dish detergent (a visual that I can't lose and still cracks me up)!
