I'm sorry to confuse you. With the sort I was proposing, I've actually used one before and got on fine, so I hope it'll be the same with this.

Sorry, I think I have confused you... It's similar to this, but it's manual, not automatic. Only small. Would this work? Or should I go with something else?

I do have a (fairly vague as yet) plan for the coop. For us, unless the chicks have been raised by a broody, we'd have to be indoors for the first few weeks. We keep a small brooder for that, generally it fits up to about 18-20 chicks. However, we also do have a small outdoor coop, which has a...

Thanks for the tips. I've noticed many plans on here I could try. Thanks!

Okay, thanks for the advice. So what would be (a) good space (b) easy clean?

I mean that with the Eglu, I could literally take it to pieces and hose it down, and it would not take hours.

But wouldn't that make cleaning for mites much more difficult?

As mentioned earlier, I am considering the Omlet Eglu Cube. What sort of modifications would a garden shed need? Also - I see your point about the colour. I would probably do black or cuckoo for starters.

Yes - okay. There's quite a demand for Pekins in my area, actually. With the coop - would an Omlet Eglu Cube be okay? Do you think?

Thank you for this advice!

Thank you for the thorough advice. Would you mind giving me a few more tips about sourcing them? Of course I understand what is meant by non-related, but I take it I'd have to be quite careful when I mingle them. If I began with 3-5 hens and one cock, would that serve, do you think? Also, how...

I would probably be focusing on 1-3 colors, and yes, it would probably be pet quality. Quality pet, but not show quality, if you see my point. It wouldn't be massive - I'd only hatch in spring/early summer, hoping for a few clutches each year. I am not worried about losing eggs, we keep a few...

Hello! First off, I'd like to apologize, because I am not sure this is the right place to post this, but anyway. So I am a relatively experienced chicken keeper, and have dealt with chicks 3 times: We purchased 8 Pekin Bantam day-olds (unfortunately 6 were cockerels, so we kept the 2 hens and...
