AMO Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Go shut it now - if they are in anyway they'll just settle down until daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I shut them in their run an hour before dusk and then they put themselves to bed as soon as it gets dark. I actually shut the eglu door when I go to bed so anything from 11pm to 1am, for no better reason than it's my routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argent13uk Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19609 I only asked this question the other day - have a look at the thread for some other advice - very useful. As is the search facility in this forum. I have found out loads of answers to my questions in there too. Happy hen keeping! Tiffany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
