sparkysmum Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 No-one sleeps in the eglu, thankfully, or it wouldn't have been so easy to fix. I wonder if I should put up some sort of partition to make each nestbox more private . Do all your ladies roost outside the eglu, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yes, they all sleep up high on a shelf for some reason . On the plus side, I never have to clean the eglu out . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Are your girls still ok I still have not managed to put mine in the one eglu. If they all end up in the same run Lola and Layla will have a go at the Silkies unless they stay at one end while they are eating In the garden if the Silkies get too close, Lola (in particular) will peck at the back/neck area and often pull out some feathers. The Silkie usually crouches down and if she keeps still the pecking will stop she then usually hurries away and that is the end of it. I wonder if there can ever be complete harmony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Oh dear, that's a shame . Hopefully it'll settle down with time. Mine are all fine, thankfully, although little Layla is still bottom of the pile and gets a peck every now and then. She tends to keep to herself which probably helps. The feathers on her back are still a little ragged but I've been spraying her with anti-peck spray. Lulu seems to think she's top chicken .

jackian Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I had my two new girls Eva and Rose the same day as you I think , and mine are doing great...After the first 3 weeks ... Little Rose is bottom but as like one of yours is a loner and seems happy with that . I am surprised how well it went after reading such horror stories. They have 2 coups when they sleep they seem to mix and match , when they lay eggs it is always in the new girls coup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
