scubababe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hi all, OK I have read & read & my head is spinning...my dilemma is this... My gorgeous Amber went to the great big roost in the sky on Christmas day. Hubby has now agreed that a) we can re-do the chook area to be a FANTASTIC WIR & that I can add more chooks..he loves me Now given that we are now at the end of December & probably about to get some naff weather I do not have a spare coop...will either have to buy or build (which will happen whenever this happens) do I get some more chooks now or wait until we have built the WIR? thought process is that with new environment my current chooks will be disorientated and accept change better or it will actually not make a lot of difference and go for it now. I know I will have to segregate for at least a week & free range introduce. Just not sure of whether the wait will alter the outcome! sorry is this making sense? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poppy ben grace Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I guess the sensible answer would be to wait.... However if you could borrow a coop it might work? i have a spare eglu that i want to sell sitting in my garden you are welcome to borrow but you are quite a long way from us! Good luck whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubababe Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thanks pbg, I dreamt about this last night! I must be getting old...I've decided on the sensible approach and will wait until I have my WIR then that will make it so much easier and hopefully pain free Was thinking about buying another eglu but have decided that as all I need is something just while I introduce them, I will maybe make something or maybe use my cat carrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
