Nesting boxes

[mosd1978]

im new to this site, im curious as to how big a run should be? the run i have is 10 foot long, 8 feet wide and 6 foot tall with 5 roosters and 4 hens, all have peepers on. but the darn rooster keep fighting. do i need to seperate the roosters from the hens or go 1 rooster per 2 hens and keep em in a seperate run? i like that walmart unside down tube idea, alot cheaper than having to build you own as to what caught my attention to this site.

also do pheasants get mites just like pigeons? i spray my pigeons with this stuff i get from the local farm store, under wings and in buttox. thanks a reply would deffantly ease some concern...

Only one roo in the pen if you've got hens around. Some people keep trios--other quads.
The extra males you can keep in a"bachelor pens" but they need to be far away from females.
