Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Mrs AVP]

Does anyone know why a re conditioned eglu would come with plastic roosting bars? Is this standard on a MK 11 Eglu?

 

Many Thanks

Do you mean "why" or "whether" ?

 

They don't make the wooden ones any more so as the reconditioned eglus come with brand new bars, they will always be plastic now.

[Mrs AVP]

Thanks I just wondered, they are much easier.

 

The website still has pictures of the wooden bars, wasn't sure.

Hmm, maybe you should just check when you order it . They may have unsold wooden ones they want rid of .

No, they don't. Someone specifically wanted a set of wooden bars and were told they couldn't have them as they don't make them anymore.

I think mine was a reconditioned one and it had plastic bars and the Omlet guy said they all have them now. They are a little more tricky for the hens but better for them in the long term in terms of ease of cleaning and nowhere for redmite to hide.
