Leicester_H Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Three - with a run and extension . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondinho Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 5 (3 bantams and 2 small Silkies), and there is still plenty of space in the house, could easily fit another 2 bantams in there. And my sister manages to fit 5 full sized hens in her eglu but I personally don't think there is enough space for another one - they all seem to want to cram into one place together though, same as you find with most hens I think.

Chicken Licken Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2, but thinking of adding 2 more soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I've got 3 in mine, but I want to get an extension for them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2 in each but sometimes when they feel like it they cram into one! If you are going for the standard eglu and standard run I would recommend 3 as an ideal number. If you have the extension/converter on the run you could have 4 small/meduim sized chooks.
