Has anyone had any luck with 5 boars living together?

I currently have 3 boars that live together peacefully and get along great. They never squable or fight or even bicker about anything and they even share very nicely.

The 3 boars are currently in a 2x4 c&c cage and I will be making the cage bigger when and before I add anymore boars to be with them. I am planning to build a 2x8 L shaped cage for 5 boars and a 2x8 L shaped cage for 5 sows stacked but open plus a storage area for their bedding.

I am waiting to build the cage until the baby boars are old enough to seperate from momma and until I am sure that the babies are boys and girls.

So that leaves me to this question, has anyone had any luck with 5 boars coexisting together in the same cage providing it is big enough (space wise)? This worries me as I don't really have the room to build more than the 2 seperate cages for the sows and the boars. I am not as worried about the sows getting as I am the boars since the boars seem to have more of a territorial issues than sows but so far I have not seen anymore territorial issues with my boars than the sows. It could be that my boars are just not normal or I just got lucky.

Is it possible for 5 boars to live together in one cage without too many problems?

It's very possible for 5 boars to live in the same cage provided it's large enough. There have been a few members that have had 5 or more boars living together successfully.
