Found this PDF from the British Columbia (Canada) Ministry of Agriculture; excellent information regarding all forms of small flock husbandry

I don't know if its that the majority of the research has a bias towards commercial production, or this was aimed at small scale commercial operation deliberately, or the intent was simply not to focus on 'pet' flocks, but his definitely has a "commercial" vibe in some of the numbers for space, light, and age.

Still a good read - I like the chart at p 178 - its an area where my poultry knowledge is particuarly weak.

This is going to take me a while, but I noticed this on the first page:

I ‘Liked’ this post but really I wanted to ‘Mega Like’ it.
