Eglu Cube Coop and Accessories

[emchook]

I currently have 3 ISA Warrens [ 1 year olds ] in an eglu with a converter extension on the run.

I will be getting a WIR soon [ hopefully]

 

I really want to get another chicken [ light sussex].

Is it ok to introduce only one POL chicken to the other 3 .. or should I introduce 2 POL ??

 

As much as I would like to get more chickens I am not sure the OH [ I mean the garden ] could withstand the damage to the garden

I would wait until you have got your WIR then get two new hens

 

My reasoning:

 

The Eglu run can then be used inside the WIR for intros with a cat box for sleeping

Five hens will sleep in an Eglu ok later when all are introduced sucessfully

It will be warmer for new hens in temp accomodation in spring

There will be more choce of hens in spring

Four are a squeeze in an eglu with converter - its not the end of the world but not ideal

Two hens are easier to introduce than one

Thanks Redwing.

I was definitely going to wait for the WIR. YIPPEE
