Size What size c&c for six sows?

[Porkypine]

I have six bonded sows. What would be the minimum acceptable dimensions of a c&c cage?

A single sow needs at least 2x3. You add one grid length for each additional piggie. So .... at least a 2x8 (or a 4x4, 3x5 would probably also work). However, if you can do larger, I would.

You could do a 2x8, a 3x6, or a 4x4. You could also make an L shaped cage if that'd fit in your room better. I have a 3'x10' cage for my 4 girls (custom, so not standard grid sizes) and it's not too hard to clean, the bigger the better and the happier they'll be

See the Main tab at the top of this page for recommended cage sizes, and remember that bigger is always better.

If they are very active a 3x5 would be best, lots of play room while others are being lazy. Now my 6 are pretty much lazy piggies, I shrunk their 3x5 down for my back(medical) to a 2x7, a L shaped 2x3 put together with a 2x4. It's 5 sows and a neutered boar, only two younger sows that run around now. The only really active times are food times.
