They won`t go to bed.........!!!!!
« on: April 28, 2009, 21:41 »
Hello everybody. Ok so we are new to this but our lovely chickens,will not go to bed!!This is our second night , and they are now sitting in the dark in the rain, looking at their brand new eglu. We`ve tried torches,sultanas, grapes to no avail. Will we have to crawl into the run and put them in ourselves, or will this stress them because its new?Why could it be why they won`t go in?  Other than this we are enjoying them very much. What should we do? any ideas? We also had our first egg today, how emotional is that? you all must know the feeling.

Hi Hilltoppers  Welcome to the the Hen House :D

The only thing for it is to crawl in and pop them in the eglu :)

Normally it's best to put them in their house for a couple of hours when you first fetch them home, then they seem to know where bed is :)

The first egg is fantastic how have you had it? My favorite was is boiled with soldiers :lol:

Take some pics of your girls and pop over to Chicken Chat and show them off we'd love to see them :)


Sarah :D

Hi Sarah
We left them out after several attempts.Then after an hour we felt guilty and went to check on them and suprise suprise!
They were all snuggled together in the Eglu.
We have got very little done today except watch chickens :)
