How high can a chicken jump?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Every six weeks or so I take the eglu apart for a good clean. I don't have a power washer so just use a bucket of water and an old washing up brush.

 

There are two bits I just can't get the bits of hemcore and grot out of . I worry about what might be lurking in there . Has anyone ever unscrewed these bits? If I did, would I get it back together again easily?

I unscrew those bits about every six months when I do my intensive clean.

 

It all goes back together fine. It means that you can clean the full length of the bar and the section it sits in.

Oh good, thanks for that, Lisa .

I find that the rounded top of my eglu changes shape if i dont put it back on within 10minutes. The last time i did it i had to get help so that the bar that goes thru the bottom with the spit pin in would go back all the way thru! Its not like i left it in the sun or had any weight on it when it was off. Was quite surprised that the top expanded so much.

 

I wish you luck with taking it all apart let us know how you get on.

If that happens, you just need to put the top on its side and press the two front 'points' (where the black bar goes through) together.
