    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    Seven birds in that coop is going to be too many....I would cap it at three or four....the four that i have typically take up about a third of the coop inside - in winter they huddle even more closely together. I have no issues with boredom or bullying, despite their having 2.5 square feet...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    I agree with you about raccoons possibly being able to get into the Eglu coop. A quarter turn of a handle and the raccoon has access through the nesting boxes or the back....In that these coops are from England, I don't think they have as many problems with raccoons as we do. I would take...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    Agreed.....I have mine Eglu Cube in a VERY spacious enclosed run, but animals COULD get to the coop through the bird netting above most certainly, and I DO wonder if a raccoom might actually succeed in twisting the back of the coop off....not sure if residents in England have to deal with...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    I think you will be okay with the Omlet...especially if the chickens have a place to run around during the day......mine has been great - no issues with pecking and boredom.....

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    Good for you. The longer run - if you are not going to free range them or build an even bigger run for your chickens, one that YOU can be in as well (and this might be something you will want to do in the future) - will be better for them, but it will be a bit more unwieldy when moving...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    No, I don't free range....too many predators. Just last week my Australorp was on my shoulder - as she tends to do whenever I am in the run for some reason - and she freaked out and flew to the ground....I looked up to see a hawk about 10 feet above us, checking us out.... The chickens have...

    Omlet Eglu Cube w/Run - Number of Hens?

    I have an Omlet Eglu....live in Minnesota....this is my take on it - It houses 4 hens for me. Here they SLEEP and LAY EGGS. When the coop door is open, and it is light out, they are always outside. That said, at night they all cuddle together without much pecking at all. The nest boxes stay...
