Angela Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 my ex battery hens are having difficulty using the ladder to the eglu cube. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Get some pipe insulation and put it round the rungs. They can grip it better than the plastic. But frankly, after a couple of days lifting them in, I’ve usually found they’ve got the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady from the pit Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Flytesofancy made me a ramp with ridges to my specs . It lodges up nicely against the Cube and has a longish slope. My ex bats took to it immediately. When my hen was limping it came in very useful as well. Cost £25. Well worthwhile . I can provide the measurements if that will help.
