Sooo much pooping

I am thinking of putting my up for part exchange as I would like a instead as I am looking to expand the flock as my 'elderladys' are not laying anymore, but I'm not sure what to value mine at.

 

I've looked on ebay and it looks as though most people's are reaching around £150 - is that really all they are getting?! I thought that the eglu products retained their value really well.....until recently.

 

I don't want to short change myself if I do manage to find someone to Part Ex with (If I ever find anyone!!)

 

I just want some more chooks so I can actually have some lovely !

I did recently notice that 2nd hand prices seem to have dropped which is disappointing, I seem to have lost £100 on my 2nd hand eglu. Hopefully it's a sign of the times and they'll recover slightly.

 

 

I see you have a WIR, if your current Eglu is just for sleeping in then you shouldn't really have a problem adding a couple more. I had 3 hybrids and 3 pekins happily sharing an Eglu, I wouldn't have had them in just the 2m run though but with the WIR I'd say you are fine unless it's a tiny one?

Yes it's just for sleeping - one of them decided to sleep in the nesting box but aside from that, that is all the action the nesting box sees!!!

 

The walk in run is 6ft x 9ft so....2 x3 m approx.....it also has a trelis used as a climbing frame also which is about 1.5m and is off the ground....

 

Would that be enough space?

I have six hens in a 3m x 2m run with one Eglu. Admittedly, two of them decline to use the Eglu and sleep outside (one on top, one on a tree branch I have in there) but I'm sure they would all fit in if they wanted to!

Thank you Olly
