DankeIf you plan to keep three Ring-necked Pheasants in a coop, the minimum recommended size of the coop should be at least 16 square feet of floor space. Ideally, you should provide each bird with a minimum of 4-5 square feet of indoor space.
Additionally, it is important to provide enough headroom so that the birds can stand up and move around comfortably. The coop should be at least 6-7 feet high to provide adequate headroom. You should also include perches for the birds to roost on, as Ring-necked Pheasants like to perch and sleep off of the ground. The perches should be placed at different heights to provide enough space for all the birds to roost comfortably.
It is also important to provide outdoor space for the pheasants to forage and exercise. Each bird should have a minimum of 20-30 square feet of outdoor space to move around comfortably. The outdoor space should be covered with netting or fencing to protect the birds from predators.
Overall, while 16 square feet is the minimum recommended size of the coop for three Ring-necked Pheasants, providing more space will always be better for the birds' comfort and well-being.
