They are lovely but I think I like Chrissy the best ....

Really nice - glad you got them.

 

Loving the pink eglu too.

Chryssie has trying to fly in the window 3 times, i dont think they have quite mastered its a window and then daisy just watches her thinking "you daft thing!" they arent in bed yet though so might have to go out and pop them in but they seem lovely so far! they have had a few tantrums with the other girls though but hardly nothing! xxx

Beautiful, congratulations

[sparkysmum]

Just lovely

[johnandkymberley]

Just an update, they have put themselves to bed in the cube!!! cant believe it! and chryssie has taken top spot and blossom hasnt even moved her!!! she is so lovely, they seem to have really nice personalities. There has been a few pecks etc but nothing that is really serious, have put soome anti pek on though before i let them out just in case but im really pleased with them! checked on them and they are all cuddled up together we will see what tommorow brings but generally they are out all day sat and sun so lots more exploring for them, and they look fantastic as a flock on 10!!!

do you keep 4 in your 3m run and eglu? also are the always on that surface?

 

Reason I ask is that we about to move from the country to the city and will only have small space and flagged yard. I have a 2m eglu classic and will add a metre to it when we move.

[johnandkymberley]

Hiya booboojosh, we have a cube 3m that all my 10 will live in, it is on paving. We only use the eglu for a spare but i think a 3m run on a classic is fine for 4 hens and on a flagged surface would be perfect, easy to wash down! Will they be able to free range in your new garden? xx

[booboojosh]

well they will be able to but we are moving to a terrace house which has a back yard. Where we are at the moment they free range all day long.

 

think i might have to get rid.

 

not sure if its fair on them living in 3m run on a hard surface.

I am sure there are ways round the problem booboojosh. How about creating an appropriate size oblong with edging slabs...then filling it with bark chips and putting the eglu on it. You could plant some chicken grass in litter trays for when they free range round the yard

[booboojosh]

just not sure if a 3m run and classic will fit the length of the yard either. we will see. \i had already suggested the trough idea to the mrs lol.......she seems to think they need to go.

[lindafw]

is it a classic northern yard with a wall surround?? you could always just net the top and call it a WIR

[johnandkymberley]

Just to update girls are now fully living together! have been a little unsettled but they are all sunbathing together and are letting me hold them..sort of!
