Sisgb Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi, Have just set up my EGlu go up and have a simple question! Im planning to use Easi-chick bedding in it, but don't know whether to just put it in the nesting bit, or under the roosting bars too. the keeping chickens guide which cane with the Eglu is strangely silent- perhaps Omlet assume you'll just know this sort of stuff?

Cat tails Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hi and welcome! I have a Go Up as well and line my poop tray with newspaper, easy and cheap. I fill my nesting box with woodchips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I put in nest box and under bars, this helps with cleaning out ( absorbs the moisture from the poo). When I change the bedding in the nest box, I use it to sprinkle under the bars and put fresh in the nest box, cuts down on waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisgb Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm guessing the 40kg of bedding Ive ordered will last me a while then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I only put it in the nest box. I empty poo trays every day so just find it an unnecessary waste to use it under the roosting bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisgb Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 How often do you change it in the nest box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is how I clean my Go Up. About once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
