Just ordered my WIR from Bay Animal Housing (formerly CMS)

 

It's 12 x 6 x 6 which is too large for just two hens don't you think?

 

OK, I'll just have to get more then!!!!!!!!

 

What breeds give blue eggs, and how many in an MII Eglu?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Congratulations . I think you definitely need some more girls - 2 would be lonely in a run that size .

 

I have 5 in my MKII eglu and they're fine . You'll need more than that though . (Have you got a birthday coming up? Perhaps a request for a little tiny Go ?)

I currently have 6 birds in 2 MkII Eglu's, but might be adding a couple more very shortly. 4 of my lot are bantams, so quite a bit smaller than your regular hens. However, it not so much the sleeping/roosting space that's the issue (they love to snuggle up), it's the availability of nesting box space for laying. Unlike us humans, hens don't like to queue up or wait in line!
