chickyhazel Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 We just got a new cube and I'm wondering - what is the least number of chickens you can put in a cube? We will only have 4 in ours for a few weeks, is that ok? The guide gives the least number as six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Due to bereavement of a couple hens recently I only have 4 and have no plans to extend in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I had 3 in mine for a year and they were fine and four now. The only thing I did when we had temperatures of -5 was to reduce some of the airspace with scrunched up newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I had three in mine all over the winter, they all slept in the nesting box anyway so it didn't seem to bother them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I had four in there through the winter and told hubby there needed to be more to increase the body heat, hence 3 more chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
