bouldercroft Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My girls are still sleeping out on the perch in the WIR - we're getting our first frost tonight. Should I leave them to it or should I start putting them to bed in the ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I wouldn't worry - if they get cold they'll probably go in. I have two sleeper-outers, I don't mind but one roosts on top of the Eglu and I am fed up with the droppings all over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Loads of mine sleep out, even in the cold weather.... daft birds We had temperatures of -10C last year, and still 2 lunatics insisted on sleeping on a perch in the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 All mine sleep out. Even in the 4 ft of snow we had last winter and the various gales/storms too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouldercroft Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 thanks everyone - I'll leave them be for now...but when our lows get much much much colder (think -20C) I'll have to herd them into the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
