I Am about to build 2 breeding pens to house 1 roo and 3 to4 hens at a time.just would like suggestion on it and ask if 5 by8 is big enough to house for a few weeks when breeding.

I just built a split hexagon bldg for breeding with 5 units in it.
Use standard requirements for figuring minimum Sq. Ft..
But I would plan on building so the roo can be housed with one hen at a time. If they've been with other roos, quarantine a couple weeks before going with your parent roo. Use leg bands, weigh each hen, keep good records even egg weight.
