Shelley13 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just taken delivery of four new hybrids and two of them have already made the Eglu nesting box their night-time quarters. Dumb question I'm sure, but what's the most effective method of denying them overnight access, or should I not bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I get them out of that habit immediately Shelly13 by obstructing the nest box with plant pots and placing the birds on the perches at night. Otherwise they poo in the nest box which can result in dirty eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley13 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks for that. Yes, the poo is already a problem in the nesting box. I'll do as you suggest, though I'm a bit worried that one of the two nest box refugees might be in there to escape a bully but I'll give it a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
