how much square foot per bird

[Kedreeva]

I built my pair a 20x25 pen and they seem to be really happy in it. I still need to build them a better shelter, they have a very larger dog house right now.

Your pen looks great! Have you considered putting a perch up high between those two center posts for them? All my peas love perching as high as they can get to look at everything.

It's hard to see but there is one there. They have had it for about two months now and just found it yesterday.

Well! That shows you how awake I am lol! I see it now. I wasn't expecting a vertical board like that, since we use very broad, flat perches.

I have been meaning to add a broad board there I just ain't had the time. It seems like I might have a few to many birds lol.

I was going to mention putting a flat board on the perch until I saw you are from SE Okieland. The main reason for flat perches are to guard against frozen toes and you just don't get that kind of cold down there. Don't let my comments dissuade you from adding a flat board, it can't hurt.

But there is such a thing as too many birds in one pen, and that leads to a lot of health issues. BTDT

As long as you have plenty of space i agree but you can have to many in a pen just like you can have to many people in a house

Yes... it was a joke

I understand it is that darn pea math at work.
