I always start my peas off singly in 3"pots, but luckily, we don't get any vermin problems, the dog sees them off!!!

How to get them out of the guttering without being in one big pile?
I f you sow  pretty thick and let them stay in the guttering untill well established they'll develop a dense root system wich should hold togetther ok. Failing that scoop them out sideways.
Best way to get guuttering is to look out for someone having their's changed and scrounge the old ones.  Or have a look at the local the local tip.  thats were the old ones finish up.
As the great Percy Thrower used to say

or slide out a foot at a time  

Also you can leave gaps when you sow them if you don't want to disturb any plants.
