Ray,
I do not know what your yard looks like, so I will just give advise….
You will want a minimum of (3) kitboxes. (1) old bird box and (2) young bird boxes. Your young birds will be spaced out over the breeding season and it works best to try to segregate by age as best as possible.
2 pair of breeders will not be enough. Your should plan space for a minimum of 8 pair of breeders.
If you build too small at first you will just end up having to rebuild as you get hooked with this great hobby.
