Trunkey Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 24 hours in and all is well thus far, last night I placed a torch in the Eglu and around 5.40pm off they went, left them for a few mins then closed the door. Opened the door around 7.00am this morning and out they came. It was around 5.30 when I got back and on going into the garden all three of the chooks were sat in the Eglu on the bars and not in the nest. Rather proud of them to be honest!

JanTheDiver Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 So you should be, they are clever little things. I always have some sleeping in the nest I have got used to cleaning it out every morning now, part of the routine on getting them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckingmad Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 well done those girls My three in the eglu haven't a clue bless them - Suzie sleeps in the nest box, Flo and Etty perch on the edge of the nest box practically covering Suzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Mine did that! I put a flower pot in the nest bit to stop it, but when I looked in Polly the Orp had wedged herself on top of the pot!!!!! No idea how she did that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm resigned to having mine sleep in the nest. They just seem to like it, all snuggled up together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
