hpops Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm torn between a cube and extending the eglu that I have. I do really like the look of the eglu and thought that if I buy sufficient run extenders - how many chickens can fit inside the eglu sleeping bit without comprimising their comfort??

Nicola O Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi I've got five in one eglu with a converter and extension added (they get quite a bit of freeranging too) They don't look too squashed in the house -although I wouldn't want to add any more - as one always sleeps in the nesting box and the other four on the bars They used to live as two sets of three in two seperate eglus - but after one died the other two just moved themselves in with the others one day when I was putting them back in the runs, so if they have chosen to all be in together they must be happy. It does mean that I currently have an empty eglu which is just screaming out to be filled with MORE CHICKENS !!! Yay !!! Nicola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It does mean that I currently have an empty eglu which is just screaming out to be filled with MORE CHICKENS !!! Yay !!! Get some ex-batts! I have four in each Eglu (+ converter and extender) They are quite happy! I could put a couple more in, but the run size would be an issue. You can extend them ad infinitum, but it would be very heavy to move around and dismantle for a mega clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
