Good for you Andy. I wouldn't like to see you having a nasty.

We have a guy up here just outside Edinburgh who dies his red to brighten up the journey of the motorists on the M8.

tobacco stalks!!!! last year was the first time i used straw for years and last year was the first time i got the dreaded beestees so never again

Tobacco stalks. Barley straw - floor sweepings - they are short lengths so don't get tangled around the hens legs, causing them to pull the eggs off the nest.

 

My birds choose Silver Birch twigs which they carry back into the loft from the garden.

Just leave your loft open and let the birds build there own,you`ll be suprised what they pickup,i had 1 nest made of nails must have been close to a hundred of them,keeps the birds very fit at the right timr if you use your head,saves training.

There was a big issue with the black nest felts early this year, babies dying in the nest. If your going to use nest felts better to go for the coconut coloured ones.

thanks for the info tony will keep it in mind cheers  ;)
