Going away...

Recommended Posts

If you guys are going away for a couple of nights, what do you do with your chickies. Do you leave the eglu door open or do you get a friend to come and open it in the morning and then come and shut it in the evening?!?!

What would you suggest? :?::think:

If it's overnight or even two nights I top up water and food making sure there's enough obviously for the time, then I leave the door open and that's it. More than two nights I get someone to come in and make sure they've got enough water - food isn't normally such an issue for a couple of nights. They should be fine - mine always have been! :D

For us the food isn't the worry, we will just fill that up to the top. Its Mr Fox thats the worry, for he has a popular walk through our garden and we caught him up by the eglu the other day, we chased him off and haven't seen him yet...

Yeah we bought some tent peggs today and secured the edge of the run all the way around the outside, which will hopefully be useful. our friends down the road have chickens and we help look after theirs whilst they are away, so might ask them to pop in at some point just to collect eggs (and maybe muck out... :wink: )
