gemmcd Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 need a prompt reply before I go tobed. I was planning on leaving eglu door open tonight as no frost forecast and chickens ready to get out before I am up as it is half term and we are all lying in til 8.30am! But feel really guilty! Is this ok - will they freeze - shall i go shut it now? If anyone out there to tell me either way, please do! I will be going ot bed in next 10 mins!

Janty Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I never usually leave the doors open but lots of people do. I forgot two nights ago and mine were fine. Hope this helps, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisdog Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Please ensure you check all the Eglu run clips as if they have become brittle in the sun then a fox can break into the eglu run. Hence I'd shut it at night if poss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Haven't shut mine in a year - chooks are fine, even the one who sleeps alone in her own cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 We cannot shut door at night as our wee bantie sits with bum hanging out door and won't let us close it! They have been fine, regardless of weather. Our run is within larger secured area though so we don't need to worry about foxes (that and our "guard turkeys" patrolling the top of the Cube ).
