Snowy Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Oh my word - that's not at all how I imagined it! Fantastic that it holds 10. But it looks a lot more serious than my mk2 eglu (and dare I say it - not as trendy? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think the run looks like it would be suitable for about 4-5 hens. if each panel is say 1sqm. Then the eglu must be ok for 10 chooks? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I thought the run looked a bit on the small side although hard to tell from the photo The current eglu chicken capacity is more based on chooks in the eglu rather than the run capacity (I think ) It's slowly growing on me - wasn't at all sure when I first saw it Although no use to us as we have a one legged chook well she has 2 legs but only one that works so she has to hop everywhere - she'd never make it up the stairs - it takes a lot for her to just get into the current eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ooooooooooooo!!!!!! I LOVE it! I wonder if it would fit in the space at the side of the house that I have earmarked for my current Eglu, if the neighbours are compliant. Then I could bat my eyelids at Fee at get a couple of her chickies....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
