14ft x 5ft would be ok for 4, sounds fine to meMy girls found their way into my heart and now they nest there -
is 4 chickens the maximum number for roosting hens in an egluLast edited by hawthorns; 17-01-2009, 07:22 PM.my plot march 2013http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvzqRS0_hbQ

I think it depends on the type of Eglu that you have...Originally posted by hawthorns View Post
The normal eglu -
"The eglu is a coop for the 21st century, featuring spacious open plan living for 2 - 4 medium size chickens or up to 5 bantams"
"The Cube
The new eglu cube is the ideal way to keep up to 10 chickens in a town or country garden"
hope this helpsNever test the depth of the water with both feet

Hi Hawthorns, the mark 2 eglu like wot you and I have is recommended for up to 4 full sized chooks, however I think it could easily accommodate 5.
Where you getting your new chooks from?Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.Comment
