what i do is using a clay bowl wrap bowl with news paper then put cocunut nest felt in you can throw some straw or tobacco stalks in for the birds to build also if your not using grills place two strips of wood under the bowl for air to circulate under

yes, these ones have caused probs in the past,,,

,

i find a handful  of easybed, at the bottom of the nest pan,,, then tobacco stalks,is as good as anything

, plus keepiing the nest pans " airy" by keeping the bottom  rim of the nest pan off the  floor  of the nest box, either by a folded grill, or a couple of slats of wood, [they put air  holes in the bottom of the nest pan, then make a rim , so no air can get through these "air"  holes :-/ :-/ :-/ ]

[Guest Blue Pied Cock]

I have to agree with ulsterlofts the coconut nest felts are brilliant, I have used all types and these are by far and away the best out there. You should be able to find the phone no. for paul Newbold ( PJ Lofts ) in the homing world, do yourself a favour and get some of these.

[Guest gladdo]

tobaco stalks is a definite ,,, keep very dry and seems to do a great job ..... mikey ...

Am getting rid of all my bowls. In my stock loft I'll placing a piece of ply on on floor of nest boxes. Placing two house bricks at right angles to make a square in the corner. Tobacco stalks cut in 4 - 6 inches. Half a brick, or 4 inch x 2 inch high wooden block for the mate to stand on. Easy to clean when on youngsters. I'll just replace the bricks onto a clean bit of plywood.The race team will have a 12 inch shelf right acroos the length of the loft. 2 or 3 actually. Then bricks in a line, with a brick from the front to the back every 12 inches. They can mate and lay / rear where they like. likewise when re mated on naturual. Yes they will be nipping in and out and guarding like the clappers. Willrace dry.... But will have some stock birds rearing some then so I can just slip a youngster under when I feel it suits.

i use nest felts and add pine needles and straw.

[Guest casbri]

iuse nest felts with straw not ever had any trouble at all been using them for 15 year

[fred smyth]

i dont use nest felts , looks to me like the under felt that goes under carpet when its getting fitted and you can bye it by the meter for very little  and cut your own , just pigeon men getting ripped off again ,, stick pigeon in front of stuff your selling and triple the price,,,,  well thats what i think i might be wrong,  

[andrecrock]

I used carpet under lay this year with pine needels on top with great sucses.The youngens was dry and happy and will do so again next year.The grills or slats is a must to let air in.

pine needels why did you use them , and were would you get them ,

 

In south africa we had a pine tree(fur tree) in our back garden next to my pigeon loft and the birds kept on filling the nest bowl with the needels(fut)so i tought i will try thesame over here.The only thing i do is spray it with vircon and put by radiator to dry for 2 day and jb done.
