Yolky Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I know that this wouldn't be ok for a long term thing but would it be ok to have three new chooks from omlet in a normal run (free ranging after 5 days) in a normal run for about 2ish weeks?

chelsea Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 yes I think 3 in a normal run with occasional free ranging is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My 3 live in a normal eglu run, though generally plenty of free ranging. You just need to ensure there is sufficient to keep them busy when they are in it. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 They will be fine. I had three ex-batts in a standard run for a couple of weeks whilst they acclimatised themselves to life out of the battery cage, and they were absolutely fine.

Chickvic Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I have 3 in the standard run. They free range after about 4pm in the week and from about noon at the week end. They are all fine and I have never (touch wood!) had any pecking issues or bullying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
