Calling serama keepers??

[La3la]

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?

I honestly think you’re fine. The only time I’ve ever seen my chickens peck each other is because of personality and some are bratty while others aren’t. Don’t worry about it! And idk how many you exactly have but im sure a few more chickens would be fine to add as well.

Thanks! I have five seramas in a 28 square foot run.
