Anyone had experience of keeping their birds in an omlet eglu, I have 5 Old English Game birds and wondered if an Eglu would be okay for them.I have their brochure and they look good, very easy to keep clean and I would imagine less problems with red mite.
According to Omlet the Eglu classic will accomodate up to 4 chickens.

Thanks all

I would say a tight squeeze for 5 hens, 3 is comfortable.

If I were you I would look at the cube which is bigger. Game birds are big aren't they? 

They are very good. I'm very pleased with mine which is over two years old now

I agree CQ - space to expand the flock in a cube

I bought my eglu second hand and must say it makes a great broody, but as for adults then 3 at the most

Thanks Joy.

Thanks for that.  Winning one - I won't be that lucky would solve all the headaches and disagreements about housing and then I could have my three little bantams!

[minniebantam]

 Thanks everyone for all the helpful info, I'll be looking into the Eglu and entering the competition!
