Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Hatch Wells Canary Nest Felts is straightforward:
- Inspect the Nest Pan: Ensure your Canary Nest Pan is clean and dry.
- Placement: Gently press the 5-inch felt into the bottom of the pan. It should sit flush against the sides.
- Securing: If necessary, ensure the edges of the felt are tucked evenly under the rim of the pan so it does not shift when the hen enters or leaves the nest.
- Maintenance: Monitor the nest daily. If the felt becomes heavily soiled with droppings or dampness, it should be removed and discarded. Never attempt to wash and reuse a soiled felt, as this can harbor bacteria that may harm the hatchlings. Always replace with a fresh felt to ensure the health of the brood.
