Hi,

New here and to the eglu. We have 3 bantam chickens that seem to have difficulties perching on the plastic bars and tend to spend their nights on the edge of the nesting box. It appears that they have a difficult time grasping the plastic bars.

Have you had any of these problems and would you know where I may be able to get the wooden bars.

 

Thanks

Peta

We have 2 relatively new chickens who grip on at the edge of the nesting box while the others manage fine. Probably if you phoned Omlet, they would still have some left over that you could buy - ask for a discount!

Thanks, I did contact them but was told that they do not have the wooden ones any longer.

I GUESS THEY WILL JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT

 

Thanks any way

Why not advertise in the 'wanted' section on here? There must be quite a few people who have bought the plastic ones and have old wooden ones hanging around somewhere.

P.S It would probably be a lot cheaper and easier to make the ones that Jules said about!

The inside of a Mark I is different, too.
