Solitary chicken - need advice

[ChickenPoopGarden]

Anyone got one? 600quid is about £550 more than I can afford! (Well, if you don't ask, you don't get!)

Sorry, I can't help, but just watch out if you get lucky on ebay.

I 'won' a much needed GO but when it came to picking it up the lady said it had been vandalised overnight and she couldn't let me have it. Truth of the matter was that she didn't get the price she wanted

 

I hope you find what you need though.

Are you getting more chickens already ?

[ChickenPoopGarden]

Is it that obvious!?

yes, hoping to get a couple more to bump the flock up to 8! I've seen one in Kent for £350 ish (Blooming Kent! So far away!) and one in Bridgend for 500 including the run.

But, to be honest, our current coop fits 8 big birds and it's perfectly adequate (Just not very groovy). I was just thinking if I could swap it for a cube I could use the other run with it's matching run (Wooden, very pretty, with a little heart for a window on both the run and coop.) to introduce new birds OR sell it all to help fund the cube.

Anyway, it's unlikely to happen, I think...

You should keep what would become your spare cage then that way you would have a hospital wing/ bully separating/ new intro space ............

 

Have you had any luck yet ?

 

Because of the hassle I had, I ended up getting a brand new GO from Omlet, rather frustrating and expensive but worth it in the end.

Noooo, with Christmas coming we've realised we simply don't have any extra money to spend on chickens. not even to buy more chickens!

We use a large dog crate in the shed for our hospital. It works rather well - just need some small feeders and drinker to hang off the bars and it would be pretty complete.
