Britannia Ovens (esp Range cookers) your experience

Hi,

Now Korma seems to have had her 'henapause' and has stopped laying altogether I think it's time for some new girlies

Even OH agrees (although not about how many) So it looks like we will be getting 2. As I have the WIR now I thought I could put a divider in to separate them but was wondering do I need separate sleeping quarters for them? If so has anyone near Manchester got a spare eglu for me to rent for a couple of weeks. Otherwise what else could I use? Could it be as simple as a wooden box? as it would hopefully only be for a couple of weeks, and hopefully the weather is not too cold

 

Also best place for new chooks in North West(I would get them from Pimlotts where I got the others but they are only doing hybrids at the moment) I really would like at least one silver laced wyandotte. Have seen Harry's Happy Hens on the web - has anyone had experience of them?

You could try looking in the [Eglus for Hire section]

I have pm'd you about a spare eglu.

 

We have got our chickens from Garden Poultry in Frodsham and Happy Chicks in Preesall.

I've just bought a rabbit run off ebay for £25 which would be fine as an intro run - it comes with a mesh roof too.

 

It fits perfectly up to the door of the Go too ... which is handy
