rosebud Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi All we are the proud owners of two chicknes ten weeks old, Betty and Lilly. they live in the eglu now all the time. the problem is we have to put a torch on in the house to tempt them to bed as it gets dark otherwise they stand at their door crying. does anyone know how long it will be before we dont need the torch and they go in by themsleves? also whats the best way to teach them to let themselves out in the morning? thanks guys, from a hopeful rosebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 They'll soon get the hang of it Rosebud, don't worry......mine took about a week, but they were a little bit older than yours when they arrived.

Liz Steed Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I know they're babes, but a torch at one end and a broom at the other and they'll soon get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
