amys garden Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Just out of curiosity has any one noticed chickens growing to the size of thier house or enclosure I've been looking after my lovely neighbours girls while they were away. She now has four girlies in an eglu they come from the same supplier as our girls but seem a lot smaller than ours. So I'm wondering if its the feed ours get or that our girlies are in a larger wooden coup and they've grown to fill the space Ours seem much tamer too, there a bunch of nosy parkers My neighbours girls have a lovely run with lots of trees so I wonder if its just that I know my own girls and anthropomorphise them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Erm ...... Maybe it's the feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think anyone who has four hens in a Cube will tell you that they DON'T grow to fill it ... it would be rather scary to have hens that size in the garden! I would guess it's the feed, the breed or perhaps their age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
