Calling serama keepers??

[hebe5]

I just wanted to know how much square footage you have per serama in your run. I have a run of 28 square feet and have five seramas. When I was researching seramas I did email a well known serama keeper who publishes on them. He told me to allow three square feet per serama and I thought I was fine as with 28 square feet I have 5.6 square metres per hen. My seramas are very happy, do not fight and I give them about an hour's strictly supervised free range in my garden every day. They have lots of perches in their walk-in run and are thoroughly spoilt madams. I even thought about getting a few more bantams but was told (in a post on here) that I am already overstocked and that I WILL in the future (not maybe!) get feather-pecking which will lead to cannibalism in my flock even if I don't add to them. I have had them two years and have never experienced any aggression or feather-pecking with any of them. I will not be adding anymore but now feel upset that I am considered to be overstocked

Your thoughts are very welcome?

Do you think I could add a dutch bantam or am I at full max now?

 

[Alexander2000]

I think your full.

 

[Alexander2000]

Unless you really really want to.

Should be fine if you do.
