Great idea Auntie, but with my lot plus the turkeys, I'd need about 100 Eglu's and 50 cubes!!!!!!

But I can see the attraction of plastic!!!!!

Ohhhh NO ... It took me ages to make with my "build your own plastic chook house" kit.

Where shall I put it now it's filling my garden up

I'd say keep it and get yourself some more chickens!!! So what if you can't get into your garden? The chickens won't mind you watching them from the kitchen window!!!! lol

i don't know if this imformation is any good,but i have 13 girls and its only my second year of keeping live stock,this is when i got my allotment,
now the old chap next to me has been keeping birds for quite a few years,he set me off on the doo's and don'ts and he told me to lime my coop on a regular basis with pigeon lime,every day i clean all the droppings off their perch's and then lime,and touch wood i havn't had any problems up to now

What's pigeon lime Ray. Is it anything like garden lime ?

Nogger · « **Reply #69 on:** October 12, 2008, 22:21 »

very simalar but it doesn't burn,the old guy told me you must not use garden lime,all these pigeon flyers use it on a regular basis and some of these birds are worth alot of money,so i thought if its good enough for his prize pigeons who am i to contradict, its good enough for my 13 flock.
