Smallest should be 3ft by 6ft. Larger are better like 4ft by 8ft.

Hi,

And make sure the roof is high. What's important in a flypen is ventilation. Think of that when building them. I've seen flypens that look like ovens. The birds suffer.

Thanks.

My ideal is 4'wide, 8'long and 8'high. I would not want them any smaller and any bigger would probably be a waste.

Its up to individual preference for as long as the bird can leap, fly and land safely and of course the pen is comfortable to chicken day and night rain or shine.

When I started raising fighting cock, my first flypen is a 24 ft by 12ft by 12 ft high, divided into two making it 12x 8 and 12 x 16 respectively.

I place my chicks in it, since it is ratproof flypen. There's a lot of round bamboo intertwined in all places.

All my roosters raised in this big flypen were like super manok. They can fly high, they can leap 4 feet high without flapping their wings.

When I hackfight them The pit seemed very small since they can cover all side of it in a very fast and skillfull fighting specially if they were match with equally smart and agile birds. In the long run, they always end up delivering the first blow.


What I am saying is, the big flypen works wonder for me and maybe only if they are raised in it . I know ranging is the best by standard but inside the big flypen, they are always a good flyer and leaper than those That Put to range. My 1 + 1 cents.[img]//sabong.com.ph/UbbNonCgi/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

well, give us a definite measurement.... how wide and how long, and how high?

Good flypens were an integral part of my father's gamefowl yard. Due to health reasons, my Dad, in his latter years, went to a 100% flypen conditioning keep, doing no manual flys, runs, flirts etc. in his 14 day keep. And his winning percentage was fantastic fighting only long gaff derbies and occasionally a short heel derby. He was able, through manipulation, to get the birds to condition themselves. This is just a guess, but I think the pens were 10 feet high, 5 or 6 ft wide and 16 feet long.. One end was sheltered, but with good ventilation. Aroost pole about 5 foot high was in the sheltered part. Another flypole at the other end was about 7 and a half feet high. On the ground, the bird's vision was obscured, but on the highest fly pole it was not. The waterer was there, except in hottest summer.. The sheltered part had a 3 ft partition, so that area contained various scratch material at different times, sand, hay, straw. The ground in the main part of the pen was kept in meticulous condition, as he was constantly adding new soil, additives, resting it at times and planting beneficial grasses and legumes. He very seldomly used the fly pens as brood or grow out pens
