peta Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 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! Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peta Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 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 Peta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Here are the ones they sell in the omlet shop HOWEVER they are Mark 1 but I don't know hat the difference is except the door??? http://www.omlet.co.uk/shop/shop.php?cat=Chicken%20Extras&sub=Spares&product_id=115&sort=popularity&start=10 Tom P.S It would probably be a lot cheaper and easier to make the ones that Jules said about!

Jules. Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The inside of a Mark I is different, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
