Electricbarbarella Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 The first couple of days that the girls were here the run needed a full rake out in the evening, there was so much po, last night there didn't seem to be very much poo, I didn't bother raking the run out and it looked fine (and didn't smell) Is it normal for the amount of poo to reduce as they settle in?

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Not sure about the amount reducing, but they are probably just producing more solid poo which doesn't smell so bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think that they are saving it up for when you are having dinner on the patio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NClaire Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think it does - as they settle in the poo solidifies a bit, and they save it up for night-time - certainly has been my experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 When mine arrived from Omlet, the poo for the 1st two weeks was amazing (lots of it and a bit squitty) and I did wonder what I had let myself in for. But it settled down. They do still produce huge amounts of poo, but it did noticeably improve for my lot once they had settled in - new surroundings, new pellets, grass etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Make sure you add bokashi and garlic it really does make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
