I'm building new breeding pens and would like some opinions...
What is the minimum breeding pen size per pair/trio? (lg breed fowl)
I have seen Chris's breeding pens (beautiful btw), and each pen is 6x4 I believe.
Will 4x4 work? 6x3?
I don't want to crowd them, but would rather not go bigger than necessary.
Thanks for feedback...

Mine are NO WHERE as nice as Chris's....but here is a pix before it was painted
It is a 4ft wide x 6ft long "run area" attached to a 4ft wide x 2ft long "coop" with roost. Works well for breeding pairs (I haven't tried trios, but I think it would be ok if you are rotating the cockerel/cockbird out of the pen). I also use it as a broody pen after hatching season.
