Eggasperated Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Feeling really guilty as in a rush to get out this morning I forgot to reopen the Solway house after I had cleaned out the poo . I always shut the pop hole while I clean it to stop the girls joining in and throwing Rapport everywhere. Came home at lunchtime to find one egg in the dust bath and some very upset chickens who then refused to lay any more eggs today. This is the second time I've done this this year and I always feel really terrible, must try harder for the rest of the year . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 When I clean the Eglu I sometimes shut the entrance, one day I forgot to re-open it. I wondered why the girls where staying up late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yep I've done it too. Found Rosie laying her egg in the dustbath and Queenie throwing herself frantically at the closed door. I felt absolutely terrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 They probably post on their own forum "does your human take doorkeeping duties seriously?" and give each other tips on how to cope with scatty human beings. I can see Eglus with automatic doors in the future "for those lazy humans who want a lie in" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
