The really small ones, they would be ok for 2 chooks as long as i let them out plenty wouldn't they?
Do you think they would change the order it is another 3 weeks before delivery due?
i think 2 chooks would still be enough eggs for us.

Well yes I imagine it would be fine. They only really should be contained and shut up within it for sleeping....

thats what i suspected, trying to save a bit of money, suddenly a bit tight.

Even with the little run they would need to be out most of the time wouldn't they.

Well personally I think it's a bit mean to keep chickens totally confined to a run all the time, they enjoy roaming and scratching a bit - that's a very chickeny thing to do. So yes, imo they should be out at least some of the time.
