andyyy Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I have ybs in nest now, its about minus 5 here and they are fine, I keep plenty on straw in the pots with a bit on hempcore
PIGEONPACKMAN Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 i never split them and whenit got mild they started mating so i put the nest pans in with intensions to put plastic eggs under but someone told me they would be ok but im starting to worry now as i havent kept birds for long
Guest geordiejen Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 i wouldnt put heaters in the loft mate,anyway if theres a week to go before they hatch it might be warmer.also when they are newly hatched the parents will still comletely cover them.as long as theres not any wed or damp in the loft the birds will all be fine.the only problem that may occur is when the drinkers freeze over.the adults need a constant supply of food and water so make sure when they hatch this doesnt happen.
