Hmmm... im not sure if I have the room for that. Maybe I could go for a 3x5? And if not could I stick with my origional measurements as long as I have fewer than 12 chicks?
What is the typical rule of thumb for floor space for banties? Standard sized birds it is 1/2 square per bird, after 4 weeks increase to 3/4 square foot per bird. You need to know how much space they need in order to know how many birds you can put safetly in a 2x4 for however long you want them there.
