we live in a new housing estate and have two chickens. We got the Elgu from omlet.co.uk Although it is a more expensive outlet, it is easy to clean and maintain. We got two hybrid hens for eight euro each and have clipped one wing each so they cant jump the fence! They have the run that comes with the Eglu and we do let them out as they love to forage. They quickly ate the grass in the run so we lined it with chip bark. This means they can forage better while kept in the run.
They are very comical and very tame. They give about 12 eggs a week between them and the eggs are delicious.
