Separate sexes for young poultry to boost growth and health
Poultry experts advise separating pullets and cockerels once birds reach about one to two pounds. Separate housing reduces crowding, lowers fighting, and promotes faster growth. For breeding stock, group cockerels by size, provide ample range, shelters, and multiple feed points, with early selection at six to twelve weeks depending on breed.

Poultry House Size and Space Guidelines
Authorities favor a poultry house 16 to 20 feet wide with a south facing single slope roof or 20 to 25 feet wide with a low double roof. Half monstrous designs are unpopular due to wasted space. Recommend 3 to 5 square feet of floor space per fowl, with 4 square feet as a rule of thumb. Four fowls per foot length for a 16 foot wide house.
Poultry House Floors and Foundation Guidelines
Poultry authorities disagree on floor types. Double wood floors with heavy paper are common and good but short-lived and allow rats. Dirt gravel or sand-clay floors are dusty and harbor rats. Cement floors work well when properly made. foundations should extend 12 to 18 inches into the ground.
