New Eglu!! With Pics!!

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just thought i'd share some photos of my chicks and their new eglu.

 

So... I went and got myself a second hand eglu. It now houses my 7 week old Bantam chicks and they love it! (although not too keen on going to bed yet- I can't seem to get them to go inside!) :roll:

The eglu is such a great design and my chicks sure do seem to enjoy their new home! :D8)

 

(Sorry for the large images- still trying to get to grips with photobucket!) :?

Thanks all for the lovely messages! :D

 

You could try putting a torch in the eglu to get them to go in as it goes dark and take it out when you've locked them in - I've tried this before!

Thanks gongladosh I never thought of this. When it was getting late I just popped them in through the egg port! :roll: Your idea would have probably have been easier! ...But luckily, tonight they decided to put themselves to bed!! 8):D

Are they going to bed yet? The torch in the eglu is my normal trick - If that fails I get a scary broom in the run (slowly) and they move away from it and eventual as I slowly move it further in they go into the eglu to get away from it, then hubby is ready to close the door.

Yes, luckily they quickly learned that it was warmer in the eglu than huddling together outside! I didn't get chance to try the torch but next time if I have problems I will try it :)
