Nest boxes ????

[Okitsme]

Hi Guys,

 

I am having trouble deciding which nest boxes to get for my stock loft. Can anyone advise me on some nice nest boxes? I know of all the places that sell nest boxes but which shoud I use or can any nest box be put into a stock loft.

 

Thanks

 

David

The words "pot", "kettle" and "black" come to mind.  ;D

 

I was wondering that but not sure, I do like the All purpose nest boxes from RV Woodcraft. I just dont want to buy something when I should have bought something else.

I would make life easy for myself and spend that bit extra and get some up and over next boxes with the pull out trays for ease of cleaning etc

They are very easy to make if you have time spare, I can make them but bought them just so we could get the birds in the new loft. You will spend a lot extra if you buy them :-/

 

These are ones from a member on the site, a great and easy design

thanks guys, but you see I am as handy as a pot plant with a hammer and nails and feel I will lose a lot of birds if I made the nests myself. I dont think they would want to stick around a invalids loft.  ;D ;D ;D ;D Think I will just spare myself the heart ache and buy some from RV Wood Craft. They are cheap and cheerful and loko quite good. lol ;D
