<<Individual perches should be long enough to accommodate no more than 10 birds = 60 inches + "overflow" of 2 "spaces" =72 inches (183 cm).>>
Just curious--any reason why no more than 10 birds (and thus 72" perch length limit)?
I did originally have the three perches, each 6 feet long, and spaced as you noted. The bottom perch has been used only as a step-up to the next one--no one stays there. The 10-foot top perch seems to be helping--they all have room, with the top perch *always* full, the middle perch with a good 2 feet or so unoccupied--which is where I set the cockerel who wants a nest box, last night and tonight. (And still no one on the bottom perch!)
Maybe they just enjoy seeing us scratch our heads...
