SLK69 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi I lost one of my ex batts last week called -and am now down to 4 in the cube (she was an ex batt and had been with us since March) Do you think 4 in a cube will be warm enough in the scottish winters - or should i get one or 2 more for body heat? She was the top chicken and her second in command took exactly 12 hours to establish her self as new top chook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Not speaking from experience but I share the same concerns. I have only 2 chooks in an Eglu. There is BAGS of room for more. I'm worried they will freeze to death in the winter. If I could fit I would get in with them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You'd be surprised how warm it is in the Eglu in winter. I used to notice when closing the doors...in the days when I used to. If you are worried, why not try a **Snugglesafe**. Can't believe we are discussing this in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Yeah I agree Egluntine, but with the Summer we've had so far!!! I must admit though on the odd hot day this Summer, the Eglu stayed pretty cool inside - just hope it's the same in reverse!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
