WitchHazel Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sorry to hear about Bluebelle. I think you were right not to push for a replacement for Bluebelle, simply because Introducig one bird to 3 would be very traumatic for the newbie. You probably could get 4 in a Classic, especially as yours are out to free range so much, but it is quite a lot. I think Omlet market them as being suitable for 2-3 hens; if I had 4, I'd make sure the Eglu door was open at night so they didn't overheat. Cube is the way to go..

migsy Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Four hens is fine in an Eglu Classic. I have 4 in one and there is plenty of room. At one stage I had 6 in there as they chose to leave my Eglu Go empty and all pile in together instead. It was a bit of a squash but it was their choice! I'd get another 2 if I were you!

Pearls007 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I've got 4 hybrids in my eglu classic and they all fit nicely, and the eglu is designed to be cool in the summer and warm in winter... I only have two hybrids in my classic - but when they roost there is loads of space for two more (open the egg port after they have gone to bed and have a look!) it's the outside space that stops me having more - as I have to leave them in the Eglu run from time to time.

Chooks76 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Yes there is masses of space in there isn't there. Although I can see that with the door closed it could get too hot in there with too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
