Redwing Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 you'll need to disturb them to change the roosting bars as they sit on the base not the droppings tray but you can change the roosting bars through the front door or eggport so you would just need to turf the hens out for a minute, I do this and they act like grumpy teens mind The dspare roppings tray is a good idea though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, Dropping tray is the main thing that I was worried about so really please with that idea, Roosting bars were an extravagant extra but just thought was a good idea even just for drying time at weekend. + WIR Lavender Mabel Posh Marjorie Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Sorry but I just take the droppings tray out if they are inside, empty it and put it back. They don't seem to bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 We've got a headlamp & can see to change things in the dark. It looks like a miner going down the garden but leaves both hands free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Didnt think of that But I do put newspaper in the bottom and then hempcore and red mite powder and do like to give it a wash, so would take about 10mins in dark wet and cold, and what if they then had pooed on base !!!! + WIR Lavender Mabel Posh Marjorie Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
