At least the hens shut up and settle down when the light goes off! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Alison - I quite like the look of the eglu! Before we got the hens daughter and I spent many happy hours looking at their site, before it occurred to us that converting the stable would be cheap as chips!

I've currently got one of those modern eglu contraptions (I've always refused them pointblank because of cost and plus they look so "townie" !!) anyway after having rats eat the base and roof (yes the roof) of our original chicken shed some years ago and then last year eat their way into a lovely wooden ark that my FIL constructed for me, I decided to bite the bullet and have one of those eglu's ... I reckon they wont be able to chew on the plastic! I LOATHE rats with a vengeance !!!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924048173192338312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-65984000798356833862009-02-04T05:20:00.000+00:002009-02-04T05:20:00.000+00:00A very entertaining description ... lol... no one ...A very entertaining description ... lol... no one could call hens boring...well not if they had anything to do with them..exasperating, impossible, annoying, entertaining..but not boring <BR/>Good luck with the night-time routine (after several years of keeping pet hens I can offer no useful advice except perhaps a large drink when you get back inside)<BR/>However any useful advice for keeping a six year old in her bed would be gratefully received..very gratefully receivedValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.com
