now ever seller has different idea of how many birds can live in them, how many do the real experts think? bearing in mind im only starting off with 4 or 5 birds( prob bantums ) and they wont be confined to the little run...more a huge enclosure which im now building.

thanks

I have a few of these and keep trios of banties in them. They are quite small but if they had permanent access to a larger run probably 4 banties would be OK.

A lady up my road had 6 in one of those :twisted: (large fowl)
I have noticed that now there are only 2
I guess if you are getting banties, then 3/4.
Glad they wouldn't be confined to that run................
Good luck

We have a couple of "lads sheds" from B&Q 3x4 foot easily accomodating 10 -12 medium birds. They also have built in ventilation and a nice window!
You could probably get a bit knocked off in the 15% off everything sale if your canny!

never thought of that,im going to b&q tomorrow so i will take a look while im there, the enclosure is nearly complete, total living area of around 30 feet by 20 feet, all i need is the house for them to live in plus the assories and obviously the birds

just a thought - we had a 6x4 shed from b+q and adapted it to make our Peckingham Palace - we have 6 medium sized birds in it very comfortably with room for more (OH says no more! I say ha ha!)
If buying from b+q do you know a person over the age of 60 and ask them to go with you and purchase on the relevant day (I think its OAP Wednesday by us in WOlverhampton) I did just so with my parents! The saving enabled me to buy all the essentials (food, litter, straw, drinkers, feeders)
Hope this suggestion is useful. :roll:
