Guest Paulo Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Just ordering my supplies for 2007 breeding season, i.e nestbowls, widowhood pots etc, whats the carck with those plastic grills for the nestbox floor? are they worth the investment?
aarden Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 im just going to get mine today paulo,i used them last year,
Guest Paulo Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 never bothered with them before. Just wondered who else uses them I'll be cleaning out twice a day with sand on floor, perchs and nestboxs so might not bother. After all its all extra money isn't it!
stevebelbin Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Fully recommend them paul, I use them and have recently been putting newspaper under and just replace the newspaper every day. Keeps there feet clean, which is always a bonus ;D
ribble Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 birds never look comfy to me stood on grills.
Chatrace Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 1x1 wire mess works as good if not better, the dropping fall thru it better. they can be bent on the sides so they are 1 1/2 high and paper can be placed under them easy
Roland Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Wooden V perches A wire trough under the perches and a guinea (or rabbit) on the floor!
Mike Lycett Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 We use em at this time of year. Birds look bang on
stevebelbin Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Wooden V perches A wire trough under the perches and a guinea (or rabbit) on the floor! Rabbit or guinea on the floor - Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!
Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Rabbit or guinea on the floor - Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!! Wife disnae fit under the grill.
jimmy white Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 ;D ;D SHI ne your buttons with brasso
Beanz Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Tried them not impressed in fact gave them to a club member, think you would be better with a block of wood for them to perch on, pigeons just don't look confortable on them.
Guest speckled Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 theramal blocks keeps the feet warm & dry as well some wher clean & DRY TO PERTCH some where where thay dont have to stand under the dropping.could go on but wont Speck :o :X :X :X
Roland Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Sorry forgot to look at this topic... I like the 4 x 2 inch block of wood in boxes. In hens, or cock sections sometimes of course, they may mate up. On a thin perch they can't mate up. On the wire door - for easy cleaning, they wont mate up, On they floor they would... Of inquiative guienea pig (Rabbit) scampers over ... they stay on perch resting peacefully.. As for feeding and watering a fold down shelve in an inward slope is put down. So their feding and watering is of the floor. Water spilled, grains spilled (very little) runs out between the little 1/2 inch gap over the trough.
stevebelbin Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Sounds good - any chance of some piccies??
Roland Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 Guenia Pig a choc bar for the lad around the corder... The rest 20 minutes at a demolition sitre, and a £5 builds a complete new inside lol. couple of Lintals planed and Garden Lime rubbed in with a slight damp cloth... stops it flying about and not getting in birds eye. cool. for the 4 x 2 in nest boxes, placed on the beer mats soaked in creaote.
storm rollers Posted November 1, 2006 Report Posted November 1, 2006 i use them m8 and think there ace i clean out every day but it stops them standing in there crap AARON
