Wishing Liz a speedy recovery. Al.

5 sections. Two full deaths at end and 3 behind corridor.

nearly there, still waiting for roof cladding and for the back wall and gables. Was a fantastic weekend for it with the weather

Thanks lads. Pent roof Sandy, just over a foot fall front to back.

Weather grim yesterday so got nothing done but today was grand so got floor down and walls up, ready for cladding now. Wee pic with the view from front of loft.

Funny how things turn out John, my club winner was the only yb i bred from her sire in 2015. Needless i made better use of him last year 😀

Don't know what it is but I like the wide cere round the eyes, had, and have, a few like that but cant say they've performed any better than those without.

That's frame made up, including section partitions. Just waiting on cladding and roofing to arrive then can get it up

Was thinking hens next to cocks for Roundabout Andy. First one for me too as it has more flexibility, just need to be realistic about numbers, probably being too optimistic

Very smart Alan 😀

was hoping for around 50 or 60 racers, 50 youngbirds and 10 or twelve pair stock. Though will keep numbers to suit the loft. It will have a pent roof sloping front to back and will build ventilation into it as well as low level vents at the front. The front metre or so will be clear sheets full length of the loft.

This was first one with a bit more room for cocks

Was planning on 30 cocks, 30 hens but to be honest its more likely to be around 25 or so of each by the time racing starts.

This is what Ive come up with as best use of loft space. would plan boxes for 30 cocks and hens, racing roundabout so sliding door between cocks and hens sections. Infact sliding doors between all sections for flexibility and to let hens use the closest yb section to give more room at start of season but as hen numbers dwindle and ybs increase then it will become yb section. Any advice, better ideas. All thoughts appreciated

Hi Ian. Put me down for a yb. Its not easy to get courior to come to Oban but i will do what i can to help. Al.

Whats it for?

Two Van Den Bulks

Cracking looking doos there Dougie

John layers pellets soaked in water. Put in big syringe and pump down her throat. You could even boil up seed and liquidize it. Ive done it with ybs and its dead quick and easy. Hope she comes good.

Crikey Brain I thought you were closer to retiral age, must have been a hard paper round down your way!! All the best

Hen is daughter of Mighty White, he sired and grand sired 5 fed winners on one saturday in England and Ireland including Nipa. Cock is a son of Lesley Maddens Kingpin Not a great pic

sire of my club winner from Dam of Franks national winner and a hen from Gareths marcia

Cock was 11th club 2nd club in 2015, hen 14th, 10th, 3rd and first club in 2016. Hoping for good things
