You'll never regret it sullycarter.

I know dozens of Eglu owners and they all say the same

Yeah but Sally, you're an elitist and you only mix with Eglu owners.
Not being in the club, so to speak, with Eglus being in such a demand and being so portable and handy, just how long would they remain in situ on your average allottment ?

I have never recommended them for allotments Bodger :!: :!:

I have always said that they are only suitable for pet hens in your own back garden where security is not a problem :!:

Although having said that:

The problem is I live in the States and I don't know how comfortable 3 hens would fit in a regular sized Eglu. I wouldn't mind having more but the cube isn't available across the pond.

Do three hens fit comfortably in a regulary Eglu?

yes apparently. I've been reading up and Omlet web site says you can get three in it or 5 little Bantams

3 is fine in an eglu but if they have to stay in the run for long periods you would need to have a run extention.

And I know quite a few chicken owners with wooden hen houses Bodger :roll:

We have a large (acre and third) garden that I hope they could be out in for at least a few hours a day. Did you get your chickens with your Eglu or buy them at a feed store or from a hatchery?

Aunt Sally · « **Reply #97 on:** March 30, 2008, 19:47 »

That sounds perfect for them.

I got my original birds from Eglu. But I've purchased locally since.

Yeah. SO until I get them i will be very bored. Does anyone here have any experience about training dogs to get along with chickens?

"Real men" are not afraid to be in touch with their feminine side
