Just when I think I have every type of hen I'd like . . . . . . someone posts a picture of another gorgeous hen.

 

I think I have hen envy . . . .

 

I want a speckled sussex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean, I want a Brahma. And a Buff Orpington (think both my chicks are boys ) And I want more Polands. And I want a Rhode Island Red cockerel. And a Wyandotte. And and and........Prudence is definitely giving me a Paddington hard stare!

 

Edited to add and I want quails, and ducks.

 

Edited again - turkeys would be nice.

I'm glad it's not just me - I want a whole flock of hens, the list is endless, but wouldn't be able to cram them all into the eglu....maybe a cube for Christmas...hmmm now there's an idea

Don't get a cube! It gets WORSE if you get a cube!! Then you want two cubes. Or a walk in run. Or a walk in run AND a cube. And maybe an Eglu too......aaaaaggghhhhh!!! I was told they make a mess, I wasn't told they're ADDICTIVE!

Its bad enough wanting different breeds! You know a sussex here an orpington there...but then you want.... a pair of each!!!

Hmm, I really thought 2 would be fine, but was then persuaded to go for 3, and now I want some different coloured hens and eggs... (I think I am suffering from the disappointment of my eggs not winning a prize at the village fete last weekend )

 

Is 3 the maximum for my eglu? They are never shut in the run as they wander in the garden all day. I'm thinking of getting a cube - can I use that in a similar fashion to the standard eglu and just have the plastic bit on the ground without the wheels and ladder?
