Dolly Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Last night, as we gathered up the 2 girls who have recently started sleeping outside, and put them in the eglu, my OH said "they probably sleep outside because it's quite a squash for 4 of them in there" - why oh why did he have to go and say that, now I'm thinking oooh, maybe we should get a cube! Particularly as I'm out of work as of this week and have some redundancy money just waiting to be spent (I mean saved to pay the mortgage).... And I suppose while I'm thinking about a cube, it would be rude not to consider attaching it to a lovely big WIR..... Somebody stop me! PS. I've checked for mites etc. in the eglu just in case that's why they're avoiding it at night but thankfully it's clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 There is plenty of room in an Eglu for four average sized hens Many of my lot have taken to sleeping outside in the warm weather too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongladosh Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 yep, it's probably heat that's causing them to do it. hens are like little furnaces at the best of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
