Brooding hen has chicks in nesting box

[KimW]

I need a spare green cube ladder to fix to a green eglu that is up high, anyone know if Omlet sell them separately?

They sell pretty much anything in the way of spares.

 

Why not give them a ring on Monday to chat about it.

How high is your Eglu? You know that the Cube ladder is very short, do you?

 

If you are getting a ladder, you might be better getting a longer one that chicks can manage -- you will be ready for anything then.

The Eglu is about the same height as my Cube, so the ladder length should be fine.

 

I have tried looking for a plastic alternative without any luck so that the Red Mite will be at a minimum. I thought about puting an upturned bucket or bricks but they will get covered in poop!

Also thought about metal bunk bed ladders but the steps are very thin and they seem to be really expensive.

Red mite aren't a worry for an outside ladder as the UV rays kill them off.

Oooh, that changes things!!
