alexgirl73 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Does anyone have any plans or something to give me an idea on how to build a roll away nest box. Quickly please lol. I am getting really fed up of not getting any eggs becasue of Hermione eating them. And if something isn't done, OH is threatening to 'despatch her' To him they are not pets at all, but just chickens. Need help fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Oh Dear... I'm really not sure, I think some people have mentioned putting flower pots on the nestbox, but that may be to stop them sleeping in there... Hope someone helps you out real soon. My best of Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 You can buy them **here**, probably for less that it would cost to make them. Whether they would sit well in the Eglu is difficult to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Have you tried filling an empty egg shell with mustard or chilli and putting that in the nestbox? Another thing to try is ceramic eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing to try is ceramic eggs. Believe me, we have tried everything!! She is just one very determined chook. It's her egg, she laid it, therefore she can eat it Thanks for that egluntine, I have made a temporary one tonight out of an old plastic toy box and some bits of left over wooden laminate board (it's a sight to behold, and duck tape is a marvellous invention ) but will find out about ordering onee of those tomorrow.

alexgirl73 Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 ooh, that looks very snazzy I may look into it , but for the moment I am happy to say that my homemade 'contraption' is doing the job. It may not look too pretty, but we had eggs for breakfast this morning woo hoo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
