chookwhisperer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I have just bought an extension to my eglu run , having come back from Thornes with 3 chickens rather than the 2 that I went for. Short of climbing in (not a pretty sight) or lifting the whole thing off its hardstanding, how can I keep it poo free? My chooks love dustbathing in the Auboise at the moment but I hope even they have their limits. chookwhisperer 1 Bluebelle Phoebe 1 Goldline Cassie 1 Silver Nick Tilly 2 cats Eddy & Tiger 1 geriatric rabbit Blacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chookwhisperer Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've tried a rake but I seem to end up bringing the rest of the bedding with it so I have to dig around for the poo. Its tricky then to get the Auboise back again, especially with my 3 little girls helping me. My rake doesn't stretch to 3 metres. But thanks for the suggestion.

Plum Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just a suggestion but never had an eglu so haven't tried it. What about hinging one side of the middle section at the top with lots of run clips then a few on the sides you can release then lift up that section to get in for cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I don't have a eglu but what about putting a troul on the end of a broom handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
