tonywig Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Slightly flippant subject line for something that has been exercising my tiny brain recently. The situation as it stands is as follows ... - I have a cube without any extension run. - I have 3 chickens. - I move the cube every few days to give them something fresh to munch on and to save (sort of) my lawn. - They get to free range whenever someone is at home (at least a few hours a day usually). My question is ... Should I invest in an extension to the cube run? Obviously it would be better for the chickens but would it make it difficult/impossible to move the cube? Would it save my lawn any more (not THAT bothered but it would be nice)? Any views? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricbarbarella Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have 6 in a cube with extension, they have not freeranged at all yet, although I am hoping they eventually. problems with a tom cat. I have left the cube in one position althougyh is is easy enough to move around, I have put aubiose down which seems a lot cleaner and nicer than just grass. they seem very very happy so I think your 3 would be fine. Of course you could always get an extension and some more chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolky Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 For three chooks who can free range I don't think it would be something you definatly needed but if you could afford it I bet the chicks would love the extra space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
