So I've been thinking about more room and happiness, and I'm 99% sold on the Eglu Cube. It's similar to my Eglu, but quite a bit bigger, and it comes with a wider run, so the hens have more space to move about. I have my eye on a bantam trio as well as a couple of marans, so the extra space would be put to very good use.
It isn't as cute as the Eglu, but it's still a nice-looking piece of kit.

That is soooo cool! I bet I could talk dh into chickens if we had one of those.
Heidi, I'll sell you my old Eglu. ;)
This is a really terrific design. Too bad dh would balk at the price (we've seen ads for them in Backyard Poultry, Hobby Farms, and other homesteading magazines).
I soooo envy you!
How wonderful to hear that the new space is working out for you!
Teresa, I bet they're horribly expensive there with the shipping and customs charges.
How many layers do you have?
We have 9 layers and 1 rooster...would need a pretty big Eggloo for all of them. :)
Teresa, the one in the photo can hold 10, but I have seen people talk about having 12-15 roosting in there. I guess when the chickens are asleep, they don't really care.
We still haven't decided on a final number of hens. Do you sell any eggs?
I'll take it! ;0) Hmmm, I wonder what shipping would be like from the UK?
Just kidding of course. My husband would have a heart attack... lol
Heidi, I wouldn't dream of scaring your DH like that! :)
