As the days get shorter and the nights start to draw in it’s important to remember to lock your Eglu door promptly. And finally, sort out your compost heap and give it a good turn, to make sure all those chicken droppings are working their magic.
Bonfire Night
If you or your neighbours like to celebrate bonfire night with a firework display it may be best to bring your chickens into the house. You can put them in a spacious cardboard box lined with straw and with plenty of air holes and then pop them back into the garden in the morning. Chickens will head straight for any ashes left over from a bonfire so just make sure that they have cooled down to avoid any accidents.
