I am a total newbie, I am looking into having my own stock in the future, once i have learned. I am considering starting off with afew birds - what are the most basic things i need to do before getting started?
Do i need to consider any extra needs for the winter? i.e. temperature inside shed/ loft? what is the best way to maintain the ideal temperature? ideal living conditions for the pigeons?
What is a reasonable number of pigeons to start off with? is it best to get them young? where can i get good feed at good prices? anyone know where i can get some good young pigeons from?
If you join the RPRA they send you a booklet on pigeon keeping. I also have Pigeons by Matthew Vriends which I've found helpful. These are just the basics of pigeon keeping but OK for a start.
I made my first loft from a 6'x4' B&Q shed....it didn't last long before I needed a larger one! There are often lofts for sale on eBay if you can find one local to you.
