Ammonia smell in coop-first time owner

[sandyhas3chucks]

Right, so I have gone and got myself 4 ex bats. 2 are walking wounded 1 disabled. I have a Piglu....

so all 4 are in that on the floor of the walk in run.

Now 1 may eventually join my remaining 2 maybe even the lesser Limpy girl, but the disabled girl & her one leg shorter than the other friend(yes they are pals isn'y that nice)

will never be able to use a normal Eglu. Disabled girl(called Cutie) goes to bed ok, and seems unable or unwilling to get herself out in the mornings. early ays yet, assisted her out Sat Sun Mon, and left her to see today. By 10.30 I took her out and put her by food & water. She can get about but very little.

Right so here's the thing. The least limpy girl found the Eglu, it was like she had fund the nest box she was dreaming of, she had already laid but stayed in there yesterday for about an hour chunterring hapily to herself. then this morning went in the house to look for it. ! it is not staying there, 2 she can't get up to it on her own.

Should I see if someone wants to buy the Piglu or swap it, and get them an Eglu. the biggest dif being that if you sleep on the floor of an Eglu there is quite a draft gap from the drawer. but could get around that.

Any thoughts to help me decide. (don't want to use the 2nd Eglu yet as the 2 I have left aren't yet best sleeping mates and one still opts to go to her old bed, but I could soon!

oh I dunno , help me out guys!

my disabled girl sleeps in a guinlu, the guinlu doesn't have a pull out tray so no drafts.

 

She shares it with 2 bantams who just lay their eggs on the floor of the guinlu.
