Mamachook76 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'm concerned that the young chickens may fall out the eglu g9 up and hurt/ kill themselves. Any suggestions? I'm torn between taking them in to rear in house and upsetting mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 And if they do survive coming out, they won't be able to get back in. Yes, you will have to move them, but rearing is the complicated bit so read up on it. Ideally you would move mum and chicks together to a proper rearing unit, so she keeps them warm.

Cat tails Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Alternatively you could make a ramp in front of the door and fill the space up with something like easychick bedding. Make sure you fill the space between the roosting bars up too. Spread bedding over the whole tray to nake an even surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamachook76 Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 I've reared in house before with success. My concern is for the mama chook who has taken her job very seriously. I can bring her in. I was going to put a bunny hut on floor of coop and move her there? Or do I bring the chicks in? Mama is a first time mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
