njoy Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi all, I am now the proud owner of a Eglu classic and the search for chickens has begun in earnest! I want to keep Pekin bantams, but I am unsure how many to keep. The Eglu has its standard run and whilst I am at work, the chickens will be in the run, and will only FR when I can be in the garden. So that is the big Q how many to keep? Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I would say 3 Comfortably, 4 if you provide different levels (perches, logs etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Omlet say 3-4 medium sized hens (hybrids) so you should be fine with 4 pekins Its the run size which is limiting, the eglu could hold 6 or more You could always look at getting a convertor/extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
