Shelley Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have noticed over the last few weeks a significant change in their pooing habits. I empty the Eglu poo tray every Saturday and there's less and less in it...but more and more in the run and in the garden! This morning we both overslept, let them out into their run at 9.30am and there was an almighty emptying of bowels. Any reason why they might have stopped pooing in the Eglu? Are they getting houseproud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billathome65 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Maybe they don't like the smell Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 As they spend far less time in the Eglu when the days are longer you'll find less poo in it I cant think of a reason why they wouldnt want to poo in there, I'm not sure they think like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yuk, a week bet they couldn't fit any more in Mine always do big poos soon after I let them out as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Sorry I haven't explained myself well. Their sleeping habits remain the same. In the eglu at 8pm and out into the run at 8am. So they're spending pretty much the same amount of time in the eglu as they've ever done, they're just choosing not to poo in there. Perhaps they're conscious of the flies?

Clairey_Fairy Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 There's hardly any poo in my Eglu either at the moment compared with in the winter. I never shut them in though, so I guess as soon as it is light they are coming out into the run and doing it there. Suits me though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
