NEHU BV715 .. on a sleep over in scarborough being fed and watered. looks to be in good condition, probably brought down by the heavy rain kev

I fed the birds about 10am, everything checked and ok in the loft, went out for a few hours and on my return was surprised to find one of the pairs who were nesting on a shelf had moved their nest approx 18inch, and not only had they moved all the nesting material they had even moved their egg. kev

thanks for the comments guys, the hen is up and about today, and has returned to her nest box, although her eggs were replaced with a pot one, and the originals put in an incubator, she can have them back in a couple of days must have been a trapped nerve kev

has anyone come across a problem when the hen lays an egg she loses the use of her legs, in every other way she is perfectly fit, eats drinks, but can not walk, all the other birds appear to treat her as if nothing is wrong she was laying for the second time and is an early bred 2009 bird, she has been eating a mixed diet with occaisional added wheat germ oil and gratted cuttlefish/iodine.. grit and fresh greens have also been available kev

its interesting to read the comments as to wether the boxes work as nest boxes or not, ive just started to use the boxes again this year as i put the birds down to breed and so far i'm getting 100% success in them being used re the aspect of cleaning. i have two sets of boxes, and replace any dirty boxes with a clean and prepared box, then simply wash with a bleach solution and rinse with a hosepipe during the non breeding weeks they have been folded flat and stored out of the way, i find them a win win product in many ways, price - easy to maintain - easy to store - and would be easy to obtain more if i wanted to add to the number i use good luck to all during the breeding weeks kev

no it was free, but they do sell the dried stalks that are the waste from extracting the oil K

I got last summers nesting material from here http://www.woldswaylavender.co.uk/ they do orders by internet kev
