Our barn has 3 pens of 10x8 each. So, doing the math (always a risky thing my OT mind) That would be 240 sq ft, or room, under the formula, for 60 birds. Did I do that right?
Yep, you did it right. So, about 4 square feet per bird? I'm seeing a pattern here.
Sounds like you got your 4 sq.ft. of roosting space to me!
I'm interested!LOL, I was genuinely sincere about checking my math, but I wasn't overly serious about the basis of the question, really. You see, I simply cannot imagine wintering over 60 birds in our barn. This was a bit cheeky, I know, but the truth is that this may point out the problem with "formulas" in general. OK, they are fine as a starting reference point, because everyone has to start somewhere, but they also tend to become THE truth or THE formula too quickly in people's minds.
Would you be interested in knowing how many birds I actually winter over those pens? And, how that compares to the formula?

I'm also interested in knowing how many?LOL, I was genuinely sincere about checking my math, but I wasn't overly serious about the basis of the question, really.
