My Three Chicks
Crowing
You have the attached run, right? Should be ok. If you're not sure I'd email Omlet or contact them on their website. They have awesome customer service and will respond in a day or 2. Maybe be prepared to give them a weight.@My Three Chicks Thanks for this suggestion! My only worry is that whether or not they are large enough to hold enough food for 5 hungry hens, or would I have to keep going out to refill them? They just look very small...
Also, do you know the weight limit of the Eglu runs? When you hang stuff from it, does the run wire/poles buckle down because of the excess weight?
I have the Rent-a-Coop water and feeder, and was just wondering if the Eglu run wiring would be able to handle the weight of these when they are filled with feed and water.
Full grown hens eat about 1/4 lb of feed a day. So for 5 hens it's only 1 1/4 lbs so the run wire can definitely support the weight of the feed. Definitely should put fresh food out each morning.
The bird feeders come in bigger sizes if you don't have room for multiple feeders. Just an option to consider.
