HarrisonFamily Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi I am sure I have read it on here somewhere..... but we have a Go in a large WIR and allow about 1 hour free ranging everyday... We have 3 hybrids at present in the GO and have had 4 quite happily in there before.... We would love to have rescue 2 more hens from BHWT...for intros we were thinking of getting another small cheap hen house and splitting the wir.... When they are hopefully all happy together do you think they would all try and fit in one hen house...and if so could you get 5 in a go ???? Or should I just start looking at a Cube ???? Wise people on omlet what do you think ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Overcrowding causes a ton of problems HarrisonFamily. On the positive side the BHWT hens will think they are back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I would agree that a Go would not be adequate for 5 chickens. A cube would be ideal, although the ex batts would struggle initially with the steps. They will need to recuperate and build up some muscle before they would be ready for a cube.

HarrisonFamily Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 So a cube for the ones I have and then a go for the ex bats until they can all live happily ever after is the plan .....now just to decide on the colour........

Chickabee Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bet you come back with more than 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrisonFamily Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Chickabee you may be right....I have just bought a cube (a green and yellow one from omlet) and I am sure 3 new chickens would be better than 2.... Now I just need a local rehoming..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
