With 16 pair you could have another 32 birds in that 12 x 6 section.........12 pair would be ideal. have you an avery on this loft.

Is it just my imagination or wasn't there a rule of thumb that say something like:

Multiple your loft length by width and then divide it by 3 to get a acceptable idea of the number of bird to keep in the space.

So 12 x 6 = 72 / 3 = 24 birds or 12 pairs of birds

 

I think you assume the loft space is at least 6' high so you can stand up.

 

Anybody think this is right or wrong ?

 

I apply it and whilst we all like to have more birds I think it is a good guide re natural ventilation etc.

Think the modern method is a 1/3 more than needed... be it perches or nest boxes.

I've done 16 - 20 nest boxes in 6 x 4 and 6 x 5 easy.

Depends of course on air circulation.
