going to be starting to build my pen i have 6 turkeys an 2 peacocks .i was thinking about 30ft by30ft an maybe 10ft tall with wire fencing on the outside what should i use on the top netting or wire?is this big enough?any info will help.i was going to drag some huge tree braches for them to use an build around them.
 
I have 7 white chineese geese in a 40 x 30 pen/run and wish it was bigger - so do they when they squabble. If you can build it bigger. Mine even freerange most of the day 8 to 10 hours worth of it.

Wouldn't keep peafowl and turkey pen together. Had a Tom kill a peacock, they were even raised together, came breeding seaon is when he killed the peacock.
 
thanks for the heads up deerman i will keep my eye on that we have two coops so i can seperate them during breeding time.
 
I prefer netting on top - much more forgiving to their heads if they fly into it.
