I am designing and building a breeding shed. I will contain one variety of one breed ( white silkies). The purpose of the birds will be show birds. I am thinking that the floor will be a floor pen for extra/ spare birds incase something happens to the first choice breeders, and extra setters. Around the walls, above the floor pen will be cages that are 32" x 48" x 24" high, to accomadate the breeding pairs, so that I can single mate them. My question is, if you were mating one variety of one breed, how many single mating pens would you build so that you would have enough birds breeding to maintain/ improve your line of Birds. I am starting with 3 pairs if that matters.
Thanks
