Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[Electricbarbarella]

i have chicken fever so bad that I am already thinking of getting some banties and an eglu, we on't really do free ranging yet and I am not sure how much we will do anyway as we have a very persistant tom cat that is always in our garden.

I had six bantams in the eglu with a run, converter and extension but they were out every day free ranging and then they moved into the cube with the big girls.

The bantams are two RIR minis, three pekins and a buff Orp mini.

we had 5 (Polands) in an eglu and standard run. The eglu was fine, but the run wasn't big enough. There was a lot of feather pecking. After a while, once we felt they were acclimatised and wouldn't fly off (at least one was a flier, can't remember how long we kept them confined - a month maybe) we let them into a pen. It got much better almost overnight - you could buy an extender/converter (they're great) to get over the run problem and it probably also depends what the birds are used to. Our Polands don't free range with the others because pom poms don't allow them to see predators....

Loads!!! I have 10 hybids and they ALL piled into the green eglu together. Yes 10 hens together in one green eglu and 0 in the purple eglu!!!!! Why did i waste the money???
