Individual breeding boxes

[symbro]

little history:

the last two years i have used jedd's tower.  i find that the birds do much better when i let fly in and out.  they have a hard time breeding and exercising due to the small size of the "individual breeding boxes"

 

So i am making the plans for my next loft.  and i want to build my own slightly larger locked breeding boxes.  i would like to be able to have two nest bowls (one on shelf one on bottom).  and enough room for them to stay healthy.

 

Can anyone give me some suggestions on the size?

(in stupid american measurements if possible)

 

Thank you

what birds are they and why do you want to keep them locked in?

i have seen too many random cocks tread hens that are mated to other cocks.

it is purely to keep my breeding records correct.

ok, understand that you want to keep your lines pure and the only 100% way is to keep pairs seperate.

Do you let the birds all out together for a fly?

half of my breeders are prisoners.

under my current set up... after they lay their last round of eggs i open the doors for them to fly inside the room.
