Happy-Mama Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi, sorry if I've just misunderstood but I have noticed on a lot of threads people saying they use shower curtains over the eglu and the thread about damp rabbits etc. Does the eglu let water in or is this extra protection just for the run part?

AnnieP Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Just for the run part Jen jen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks. I don't mind having to cover the run as long as the bed area is cosey and dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The mk1 egg port does occasionally leak, but if you phone Omlet they will send out a thicker piece of foam to attatch to the eggport door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy-Mama Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks Martin. Unfortunately I don't have an eglu yet. I'm hoping to get a rablu next year. Though the more posts I read the more tempting keeping chickens sounds , but I don't have the space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 There's ALWAYS space for a chicken or two eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The mk1 egg port does occasionally leak, but if you phone Omlet they will send out a thicker piece of foam to attatch to the eggport door! Thanks for that tip Martin - mine let in water for the first time last week - we wondered if may just be because of the rain and horizontal wind but on closer inspection my rubber/foamy seal has got a bit squashed and worn in places so it may be worth giving Omlet a ring by the sounds of things.

Sheilaz Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ..I have that with my mark ones, but didn't bother telling Omlet. I keep a carpet offcut (Kate's tip ) over the eggport & handle so it all stays dry & doesn't freeze, and makes a porch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
