AJuff Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well ALL ten piled into the green eglu tonight!!! 0 in the purple!!! They only use the purple eglu to lay eggs in!!! The rest are tucked up underneath. All very cosy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brown Clan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 that is really funny maybe we should start a comp or guiness book of records , of how many chickens can you get in an eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs chook Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Aw bless 'em, they look all cosy and snug. Weather a bit warm for such sleeping conditions at the moment tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 total nutters I agree it must have been a tad warm with all that body heat... but I guess they know best, made me laugh out loud though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm afraid I turfed Dasiy out of the nest box tonight and put a football in her place. She still found room to roost. Silly hens don't they know there's an empty purple eglu nearby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Tonight I have one RIR in the eglu, one ex-batt in a cube and the other thirteen are all in one cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedusA Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My 5 "big girls" are the same. All of them sleep in one eglu even though I had a purple one empty to begin with. Your 10 beats mine for sure. I'll be interested to see what happens when I integrate the two Araucanas though. Will all 7 try and share one eglu?

Mutrix Farmers Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks like the cube can't come soon enough!! Or perhaps they don't find purple a restful colour!! Fab picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Brilliant - looks like a chicken pancake! I'm getting 2 new hens next year, I was planning to buy another Eglu, makes me think it's not worth it as all these posts suggest they'll all snuggle in together! But I was going to get the new one for the intros and also 'cos they'd need more than one nest box. Suppose I can always sell it afterwards!!
