counturchickens Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sorry if this is a silly question, but have been reading lots about run sizes. Not sure if I have my square metres and metres squared mixed up (never was any good at maths!) but the 2m cube run is advertised as being suitable for 6 chickens. Originally bought that, but it seemed small and realised we could squeeze another metre in, so bought the extension. Now have 5 ex batts living quite happily, fr each day from 4 ish until 7 or 8pm, but is the run technically suitable? I wouldn't have the 10 chickens it seems to say would be ok.

Plum Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 No I wouldn't its the house not the run that's suitable for that number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 If you have a Cube with an extension that should be fine for five chooks, especially if they get a bit of F/R. I used to have five in this set-up - why not put some branches in so they can use the height of the run as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counturchickens Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Not wanting to criticise omlet, as I am really pleased with the cube, but when I checked the website it does say cube with 3m run is suitable for 10 and on the chart on the site it says is suitable for 8.
