# When should I put the nest bowl in?



## Alan123 (Apr 26, 2014)

Should I put the nest bowl in the nest after the eggs have been laid or should I put it in now and put some pine needles in the nest so they can collect?  I have bought a bowl and I am going to go and collect some pine needles so do I have to wash the pine needles or anything and then put it in?

If the pair has started mating then the time is ripe to put in the nesting bowl now. If you put it later the hen may not accept and lay in it. Put it in now so the male coo in it and they choose it as their nesting spot.
Collect stiffer nesting materials like twigs,straw,small thin sticks,roots etc and put them in the loft. You can add pine needles later if nest's not nice. Let them make a nest by themselves which they would love to. Remember, whatever you use for nest must be dry and clean, not wet/having moisture. G'Luck

I keep the nest bowl in at all times so the Cock will claim it for the hen to use, it is part of there ritual. I have still had hens lay beside the nest bowls instead of in. When I put the eggs in the bowl they refused to set on them. When the babies hatch and I band them, I then put them in the nest bowl and the parents have always taken to the bowl at that point with no more problems. The bowl is important to the growth of there legs. keeps them tight to there body. My opinion, good luck!!

For those hens which lay out of the nesting bowl,have you tried giving them nesting bowl when they start mating?instead of keeping it in all the time. That might explain they search for a new site than old bowl as some have habit of doing it.

the sooner the bowl is in their box the better.. pigeons do not like change.. they need time to get used to it and want to use it. 

Im not sure where you are in the US but I have collected pine needles for the birds too.. I quit when I got a mess of chigger bites from doing it..makes me wonder if the birds would get bit too..so watch out. I only use horse hay now or they collect their own twigs.
