A rough draft of my poultry barn (Dimensions only)

[marvun22]

I'm planning to get a huge poultry amount in the future and here is a rough draft of my poultry barn with dimensions

Sorry the writing is so small. And I'm still considering adding pheasants and/or guinea fowl, so I'd have to make room for them. And that emu area shown is just the shelter, not the free range area, regardless of what I accidently wrote down. and the whole long rectangle is the shelter, the thicker and smaller rectangle is where my huge barn doors will be.

A reminder, just click on the picture to get a good view of it. And sorry it's not very good, I just made it on paint. I don't know anywhere to make a rough blueprint on stuff like this.

How many birds are you planning on putting in those areas? Won't the 10x10 only fit like 2 each of those larger birds like turkeys and geese? Are there runs outside, or is this their entire space?

What is all the free space in the middle?

Why so many breeds?

The 10x10 goose pens are for pairs of geese. The muscovy pen will hold 6 ducks. The 10x10 turkey pens will hold 2 turkeys. The 15x10 turkey pen will hold 3 turkeys. The 20x10 pen will hold peafowl and it will be divided if neccesary if I get excess males. The 20x20 chicken coop will hold 55 chickens. My 30x17 duck pen will hold 42 ducks (all ducks beside Muscovy) and my 2 african geese (their protectors). The 10x20 swan area will hold 2 swans, but I'm still researching that part. The 10x15 water/feed/electricity area is just what it says it is. It will be a shed where I keep the feed, water hydrant, and the fusebox. There will still be oulets in the pens as well. The 10x60 emu pen is going to be the emus shelter. That is in the barn. Outside their barn shelter will be the emus fenced in free range area. I am missing a couple of things. I might need a couple guinea fowl pens and phesant pens. What I really would like to put in their would be a brooder for baby chicks. Now back to your questions. The free space in the middle will probably just have their feeders and waterers (which I will need alot of because I'm getting so many waterfowl). I get a variety of breeds just because I want too. I wanted African, so I got grey and buff African. I wanted Toulouse, so I'm getting a Large Dewlap Toulouse. I wanted some Sebastopols, so I'm getting 2 buff and 2 white. I wanted a cool color, so I got the American Blue. I really like Canada Geese, so I am getting 4 of them. I'm not going to go all over the ducks and chickens, that would just be too much time. I will say that I am getting 10 Buff Orpington Hens because I really like them.

I have no idea why the ducks, geese, and some turkeys have italics and why some of the things are bolded. As I said, it looks much better on word.
