My two remaining hens have stopped laying. Izzie (Bluebell) and Skye (Sussex) came to us on 1 October 2019, so are 3+ years old. They have been terrific egg producers in that time, but I don't want to start buying eggs again so I need to buy a new hen. We have an Eglu Classic and 3 hens fit, 4 don't. Our supplier, Skye Pullets, will have Cream Legbars and Cheshire Blues in September. I could have Black Rocks or Lohmann Browns i August but I prefer pretty coloured hens. It seems odd to buy just one hen, but I don't think two would fit in the Eglu, especially with the incumbent girls. Advice happily accepted. And no, I don't intend to dispose of Izzie and Skye.
