Different brand auto door??

[Happy-Mama]

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?

Just for the run part Jen jen!

[Happy-Mama]

Thanks. I don't mind having to cover the run as long as the bed area is cosey and dry

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!

[Happy-Mama]

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

[Martin B]

We didn't either!

[AnnieP]

There's ALWAYS space for a chicken or two eh?

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.

..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.
