I learnt a great trick from a Dutch fancier regarding nest bowls.

Before the season starts - wrap your nest bowls in newspaper.  This works really well, especially for terracotta nest bowls, which can cling onto the poo.  But is also good for plastic ones.

I use plastic bowls with nest felts on you only have to clean the sides then lol

they do that for winter breeding , gives a bit more insulation for the eggs and young nowt to do with keeping the bowls cleaner

don't like the paper idea myself it gets damp and stays that way....when we wash ours they all go in a ash bin with sterilising fluid and soaked til next day
