sox Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy white Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Avoid black ones at all costs 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 :-/ :-/ :-/ ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blue Pied Cock Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 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.

Roland Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 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.

fred smyth Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
