Bachelor Cages?

[Backyard Bob]

I am looking to create me some bachelor cages for LF roosters. Including Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, White leghorns. What sizes would be needed to keep the roosters happyish?

Thank you!

for large fowl i have made some 3 foot by 3 foot cages, they work great for single "extras". i move them about once a week so the chickens can get to fresh grass.

What do you do with them in the winter?

usually i do butcher extras before winter, but for the ones i decide to keep; i just put the cages side by side and block the wind with plastic. mine are only 2 feet tall, the low roof keeps the chickens plenty warm.
