nicky27 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just out of interest as we are still -less at the moment.... is it safe to let the girls have the eglu door open at night so they have access to the run all the time? Just thinking about if they were to be left for the weekend - is this what you all do? Thanks Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 we have a touring caravan. quite often we go away on a friday and back on a sunday, with plenty of food and water the girls are perfectly fine in the run with the door open - they go in and out when they please. If I go away for a little longer, my sister comes over and lets them out and checks the water and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Our Eglu door is open permanently. During the winter months is gets left ajar so the hens can shoulder shove the door open. This time of year we leave it wide open all the time. We've had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
