"[3]i always think those eglu things look too small[/i]"

We've got 3 hens in ours, that's definitely the limit, or perhaps 4 bantams. Ours roam free during the day, so this is only really their sleeping quarters, and in the warm weather we only close the run at night, not the coup's door.

"I wouldn't feel happy though if the eglu run was all they had"

Agreed. The Cube has an extendible enclosure (2M at a time I think). But if you think the Eglu is pricey the Cube definitely won't be for you (nor me ... yet!)

Our garden is ringed by rabbit fence., Its not high but the chooks haven't bothered to jump it yet - plenty to find within the garden I expect ...... but I worry about Charlie Fox.

"And mine are inside a 25m electric fence enclosure"

How does that work pipscariad?
