Space required for raising chickens in pens

[Ray987]

So you have a 300 square foot barn and you want to sub-divide with smaller wire pens inside this enclosure?


Each bird needs 10 square foot of space and 1 foot of roosting space, *minimum*

You get less and less problems between birds the more space they have.

So just do the math for your pens.

Thanks for the info, so that's like 1 square meter per bird lot more than I expected thought 3 per square meter would be more like it, i guess it depends on the breed? Fayoumis are a small breed
As for roosting I'm not sure how they can roost, it's gonna be stacked pens 2 story I forgot to mention that part (probably 70 to 100cm high for each story, something like this but all metal and wire
