greyhoundgirl Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Well the arrived yesterday morning thanks to George and this morning I let the girls out after the total fiasco last night of trying to get them into the Eglu in the dark and cold. Just saying goodbye with the children for the day and there was our first lovely fresh egg on the floor of the run. So my question is how do I get them to lay in the Eglu? I'm sure there was something on here about it but I just can't locate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Congratulations on your first egg! Try putting a couple of golf balls in the nesting area and they will soon learn where to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundgirl Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Fab thanks Christian, I'll raid my son's stash! Struggled to get them to bed tonight again and endded up with a scratched lip for my trouble!! Grrrr! Guess they'll learn soon enough.

scarlettohara Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Honey laid her first egg in the run - she lays in the nest now, I think she was just caught unawares Poke them into the eglu with a broom - usually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
