Ladylucan Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 How long does it take the chooks to get used to the ladder, I know its early days yet. ( 2 days), but i feel sorry for them as its soo cold, and they have a nice warm house to look at but cant get anywhere near.... In the morning a few of them slide out, and a couple hop, the rest fly, I know they will get used to it, but just wondered how long it took everyone else, xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Mine still flap and stumble their way up after several months - it always looks really awkward for them. I feel the ladder should be rubberized or ribbed in some way to give better grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Don't have a cube so have no experience of this, but did someone on the forum not suggest putting rubber grippy stuff on the rungs? Stuff for wooden stairs, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I think someone tried the pipe insulation stuff but the chooks ended up eating it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Oh dear! Didn't Richard build them a ramp/ladder thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Well i went out a little while ago, and out of the 9 i have, only 3 were asleep behind the run, so guess they have mastered that ALOT quicker than i thought, !!!, sorry .

Snowy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I had to post mine in on the first night, but after that they all found their way in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki9 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 my oldies and newbies all mastered it by the second day. The newbies more by necessity as they ran/flew from evil clucking Tikka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
