How many pekin bamtams fit in an eglu?

Recommended Posts

No, not a joke!!!

My cube arrived last Thursday and my hens moved in on Sunday. However, my Cochins took a dislike to my little pekin, sat on her and stripped the feathers off her back.

 

I have taken her out and ordered her a little ex-display purple eglu of her own. I am also going to a local farm to choose some more pekins next weekend. Does anybody know how many bantams fit comfortably in an eglu?

 

Thanks,

Janty

 

P.S. This chicken business is so addictive!

I've got 8 Bantams in a mark 2 eglu :D

 

Most are bigger than my Pekin and one, my Poland is slighter smaller.

 

Even with 8 bantams there seems to be plenty of space when they are all snuggled up. The eglu run will not be large enough for 8 though. I think it is reccomended that 4 Bantams max would be able to live comfortably in the run (I have a homemade run 24' x 6').
