What fab ideas for cat paraphenalia

 

Omleteer's inginuity leaves me in awe once again

I've taken a very similar approach for our (v big ) Orp. Our chicks hatched in a cardboard box, but have now moved into their brand new with Mum. I've left the bars in, but under-filled the whole area with Aubiose right up to bar level. The idea being there's no holes for the chicks to fall down, but good support for the heavy-weight Orp.

 

If I'd had the before the chicks emerged I'd have removed the bars and filled the whole area with Aubiose as that would have provided a good nest space for her to brood the eggs and a firm/grippy surface for the chicks to take their first tentative steps once hatched.

That's what we've done whenever we've had a broody sitting on eggs in an Eglu - we make a safe ramp for chickies to get outside as well.
