Happily Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 We are moving house and won't have room for the walk in run we have now. As we now only have 3 pekin bantams I was looking at getting the eglu go up. The girls currently have a 7x10 foot run and free range in the garden all day. Do u think they will adjust ok to the eglu go up. Does anyone have any experience of moving their girls to a smaller run/area and did they adjust ok? Also if anyone has the go up I'd be intersted to know what u think. Thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have a Go Up and love it. It's dead easy to clean, doesn't take a lot of space and gives the chickens a nice shelter under the house. I had 3 New Hampshire bantams in there which was fine. Now have 2 New Hampshires and 2 Dutch bantams, which are a lot smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeramaSilly Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Gosh Cat Tails were you able to introduce your new dutch bantams in with the New Hampshires ok because they're a lot small aren't they? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 My New Hampshires are bantams as well, but the Dutchies are still a bit smaller. I boarded them with my usual place who hatched the Dutchies and they just chucked them together in a new coop. Came to pick em up after a week and all has been well. Ginger does boss them around quite a bit, but they are much faster than she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chooksRCute Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have a cube & the go up & to be honest being older ( not immobile or any such) I do struggle with cleaning the go up run. The door is very narrow & the ladder gets in the way too. Aside of this the go up is great for a few birds but I'd definately recommend you add the wheels so you can just move it when you need to deep clean the run.
