4 chickens??

Recommended Posts

i have resently lost gloria... :cry:

 

we were wondering if we would be able to fit 4 chickens into the standard eglu and run...

 

we still have chickens so how easy would it be to introduce them??

 

please help we r about to go on holiday so nothing is going to happen instantly... advice would still bge useful though!!

 

it probably sounds awful... we have only not had gloria for about an hour and a half... but i have a very upset sister who owned Gloria so a replacement is neccesary.

Sorry to hear you lost Gloria today.

 

I have 4 medium hybrid chickens in an eglu (mark 2) and a standard run with one converter on the end.

 

We replaced one that died. After 8 days of pecking order (not nice) they all get along fine now. But I did resort to putting the new girl in the childrens wendy shed during the daytime when I was out as she was being picked on. Then popped her in through the egg port at night.

I have five hens in my eglu 3 older girls and two littlies. They have lots of space in the eglu as they all squash up together at night leaving half the eglu empty! I did buy a run extension to give them extra space on a morning before I got up to let them out.
