Leicester_H Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) I thought that they were supposed to roost on the roosting bars at night ?? Chikki (top chicken) seems to sleep in the nesting box, and Boo half on top of her !! http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=13658 These aren't quite working !! - any one spot my mistakes ? Now OK - thanks Chocchick Edited June 3, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 It would be.... ...but images won't link from the omlet forum, so you need a photobucket account, or similar to host photos. Here's the link http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=13658 Ahh. Katy has taken to sitting on Abbie like she is horse riding this week.

bridgy chooks Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Are your chooks quite young or new to the eglu? When ours first arrived they fought over the nest box and both squashed in They now go in the eglu and bumble around for a while before sitting exactly where they sit every night on the roosting bars. They also used to perch on the edge of the nest box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Are your chooks quite young or new to the eglu? When ours first arrived they fought over the nest box and both squashed in They arrived on 7th April aged 18/20 weeks ? Chikki looked bigger and heavier so presumably older and hence top chicken. They do look cute though ! Daft things ! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Loxy Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 The second night that mine were in the eglu, I came home from work and peeped into the eglu. I could only see two chickens and was quite worried that one had gone missing until I realised that one was sitting on top of another one. They do huddle don't they.
