Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[amc]

Does anybody have experience of keeping Dutch Bantams in an Eglu? I am planning on getting three (hens) and keeping them in the standard Eglu and run. Will they have adequate room to spend all their time in this area?

I have been advised not to mix them with my current four large hens who live in a Cube with a very large run/enclosed area. Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

Sounds fine to me and that is perfect amount of space

 

Good luck

I have 2 Dutch girls, a Poland,a Pekin & a Poland boy all in an Eglu in a walk in run, & they are fine l

Thanks for the reassurance Tom.

(It is just a standard Eglu run btw, not walk in.)

Going to collect them next week.

Thanks,

I used to have a dutch and a japanese (two smallest true bantams) with the other in the eglu, and later the cube. They managed just fine.
