ibrunt Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 It has just started to rain and our eglu door is open. I have noticed the inside 'porch' area has started to get a bit wet. I know Chickens don't like the damp, so is it worth closing the door (even though its mid-day and they might want to get out as soon as the rain stops) or shall i just leave them as they are?? Really appreciate your help Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would leave them as they are a bit of rain wont hurt them Mine often go out in it, make a right mess mind you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Nothing to worry about. You could put a cover such as a clear shower curtain over the run and tuck it into the roof of the Eglu so that the dorway has some protection if you fancy, but it isn't a good idea to close the Eglu door during the day, in case one of them wants to use the nest box.
