cabbagepatch Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 this is probably a very silly question I got my eglu two weeks ago so can I assume that its the Mark 2 version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yes, it is a Mark 2. The Mark 1s were phased out around about June 2005, from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballgunner Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i thought you could keep 4 in a normal eglu ? and 5 bantums ,how much can you keep in a normal one then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have a mark 2, and I have had 5 normal chickens in it, very comfortably, although the run isn't big enough for more than 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbagepatch Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i've found all this enlightening because looking at the website and brochure it says the eglu can hold up to 4 hens but it doesn't say that the run it comes with is only big enough for 2 or 3. seems a bit crafty because we got 3 and I feel that I should really buy the extension as well.

The Dogmother Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've got a mark 2 with 7 bantams on it and plenty of room at night. They freerange most of the day, but I have a run extension, and they are fine if confined to the run for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
