Nic_W Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 My two beautiful Australorps are now 7 weeks old and have moved into their Eglu. We’d love to add a couple more friends, but are wondering how many we can comfortably fit into the Eglu to roost. We have a 3m run, plus they’re able to free range, so it’s more about how many we can fit considering Australorps will get to a decent size. Can anybody share insight into having 3-4 in the Eglu Go Up? We’re thinking of 1 or 2 Isa Brown’s at 16 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Love your little cheepers! 4 standard sized might be pushing it. I have 5 bantams in mine, including a Dutch bantam and a Sebright which only weigh about 500 grams. Maybe consider a smaller breed than Isa Browns? More important than coop size is run size. You will need a minimum of 1 square meter per standard sized hen and more is always better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
