reggiep Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi How many chickens can you fit in an Eglu? We have three chickens at the moment. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Its the run that restricts you I have 5 that sleep in one Eglu happily but its in a big run If you only have the Eglu run or run and converter I would stick at three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Agree - five sleep in mine, but they're in a walk-in run. Three's about right for an Eglu with the run and converter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I have 2 Eglus each with 4 hens, but there is a converter added to each run to give them an extra metre to scamper about in. They also free range most days. More than 4 and you might find a queue for the nest box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERTIE MCSQUIRTY Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 i've got 4 in mine too, but i have an extension and they do free range in the garden also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 BUT that huge Rhode Island Red I had to stay changed my mind only 3 Max at that size and still need a converter. But 4 ex bats sleep happily in one but they too are in WIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiep Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thx everyone for your advice. Our girls free-range everyday and love to snuggle up to each other at night in the eglu. I was just curious how many you could home, but I think three is just right. Thx Once again for all your replies. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
