How Many Chickens in a standard Eglu

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

We have recently purchased our Eglu with thanks to this forum, we have been looking around at where to get our chickens, our daughter is really excited and is wanting to get 4 chickens so she can call them after the main characters on the film Madagascar, 3 male name's we know but she is only 3!!! Would you say the Eglu is too small for 4 chickens!!!

 

Many thanks :):):)

Thanks guy's, now i'm thinking on postponing the purchase of the MADAGASCAR CREW and building a walk in run as we were hoping on purchasing more chickens if all goes well! so I guess if we were to do that we could then just purchase another Eglu to put into the walk in run! Is that a good idea!!! :think:

Definitely - if you have room/can afford it, a walk-in run is the way to go.

 

ANH and I both have five hens sleeping in one Eglu inside a walk-in run, they generally prefer to all sleep together and it's the space available to them during the day which is more important. I think if you had more than five you'd need a second Eglu, though! Lots of advice and inspiration on the threads about walk-in runs.
