Nuggywoo Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was trawling the net and came across a fantastic website! Had a quick (long ) browse and it's one of the most informative, easy to understand chicken keeping websites I've ever come across! It's extremely well laid out, loads to read and incredibly interesting too. Whether you've kept chickens for 5 days or 5 yrs it's all there. Have a look. (If you want to, that is .) http://www.freewebs.com/professorchicken/index.htm ps At first glance you'd think the author was from either Australia or US but she's based in Cider Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoice Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 good site. Just discovered that my run is too small for 4 birds!!!! Although they do freerange evenings and weekends, this may become an issue in winter. I have a run 7ftx4ft (= 28sqft) but the site said 8sq ft per hybrid sized bird (= 32sq ft) Do you think may be why Gladys had that pecking issue I'm monitoring?

debbie26pet Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 i thought it was 7sqft per chicken to for hybirds, i have 2 bantams and 11 normal size. my run size is 14ft x 6.5ft. so im either just right or im a little over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Don't know! Maybe someone more experienced could shed some light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 As long as they have room to break into a small gallop, escape from any unpleasantness and flap their wings they will be happy. I don't think we need to get too bogged down with feet and inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie26pet Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 oh yes, they have under there shed we have left a patch so they can scrat around, and they free range most of the day, the only time they stay in if im out, weather to bad, or we are away and mil lets them out still for a hour or 2 then.

The Brown Clan Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Lots of info on this site the author is not an eglu fan though " fairly small and over priced " I love my eglu ( Yes it was expensive compared to other houses on the market ) but I think its well worth the money my only regret is that i didn't order the cube instead ( note to hubby on my christmas wish list ) EACH TO THEIR OWN I SUPPOSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
