Scooby Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi everyone New at this, was hoping someone could answer my question. I recently acquired 2 pekin bantams and 1 japanese pekin and an eglu cube. Was wondering if it's possible to introduce a couple of pepperpots or gingernuts to the same cube or if I'd have to get a separate eglu for them. Also, if that's the case does that mean they will not get on free ranging together? Thanks Scooby Daphne, Edna Florence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think you could get a couple of big girls. I would wait until the pekins are fully growwn though so they have a chance of standing their ground and then get the larger breed as a younger bird which is about the same size as the Pekins at the time of introduction. Obviously introductions would need to be done slowly but I think that should be the case regardless. Shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 My big girls picked on my young pekin so badly in the cube that I had to order her an eglu all of her own ( and of course some friends to keep her company). I bought them all from the same farm on the same day and still experienced problems. I agree that you should wait until your pekins are fully grown. Then they would at least be able to defend themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
