Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have to scoop broken egg or softies out of the nestbox almost daily and have been putting them in the compost bin (which is within arm's length of the eglu). I do wonder sometimes though if that's wise? Will it attract vermin/flies etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH1981 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 if it were me i'd just check them straight in the bin, but then im quite squemish and even looking at some of the pics on here have made me go a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 wont your dog like them..mine thinks they are yummy even the ones that are in the poo tray! They are probably the tastiest indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hadn't thought of that . Trouble is they tend to be all mixed up with Easibed and I don't think he'd like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saronne Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If I find them in the poo tray (which is where I normally find softies), then they go straight into the compost bin with the rest of the droppings. Not had any problems with vermin...YET. Saronne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Can rarely get to them before the dog slurps them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 mine go into the compost bin too with no problems. I haven't had a softie recently, we used to get quite a few from our dear departed White Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
