Treekeeper Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 After buying 2 chooks last week I promised OH that was it 6 chooks was enough. Then I found a Cream Legbar for sale guaranteed green eggs, after the one I got 2yrs ago turned out to be a gold legbar (white eggs). So she is in the basket just waiting for darkness so she can be put in the cube with the others Honest no more chooks!! Then again OH has suggested that we extend the WIR when we knock the rotten shed down! How many chooks can you fit in a cube????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I often poke my head in the top of the & find anything between 9 & 11 of my big girls in there, including 4 big fluffy orps ...............before anyone gets upset about my bad chook mum attitude, they do have the choice of or to sleep in & usually decide that squidged in together is the way forward There are usually 1-3 in the nestbox but it's still cosy Congratulations on the newbie, DH's can be total darlings when they want to can't they Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have 12 girls that sleep in my cube, but I would never have that many in a cube with the cube run. I have a large walk in run. I often look in at night and there is still loads of space as they all huddle together. It will be interesting when I integrate my 2 new girls into the WIR, even though they will be able to choose the or a I wonder if they will all go to bed in the with the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I have had as many as 14 in my cube. They had an Eglu too in the WIR but all preferred to bunk up together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
