maybe ted ill let you know when my lofts up

hmm good point ;D ;D

i did think that the other 2 birds i had were both males (one west one fan) but my west suprised me by laying a pair of eggs last week, i didnt even have a nest bowl for them cause i thought they were male : i am sooo hopeless anyway they did it under the hutch, but i have replaced them with dummy eggs cause i dont want too many mixed breed birds or i will have no room for any new ones

the new loft will be a lean too on the back of the summerhouse, it wont be much bigger but it will me much warmer and less drafty though my 4 birds 2 wests and 2 fans seem to be very happy, since being in the garage the west hen and fan cock have hatched out babies

sooo of course proof that i dont mind getting my hands dirty and the temporary home for my birds in the garage its a 2 tier rabbit hutch a fireguard and some mesh

ok this is the strory of my new loft, in our garden there was an old messy summerhouse that looks really rough but has a beautiful view from it so we are renovating it, putting on new rooftiles and doors and windows its quite a large room so we are putting a wood burning stove in there, the building i used as a loft for my birds was a lean too on the side it, was drafty and leeky and i knew it needed knocking down so theres are the before pics the old loft

lovely looking dog mate

just been catching up on this thread some fantastic pics snowy luv, you have some lovely birds and an even lovelyer family, well done sweetie

zetlandladland.. lol, can i ask you to look at my birds i think its reply 19 and tell me what they are, are they garden or indian or a mixbreed ?? thank you

YES !! i knew it!! garden fans are like the wild ones with out the fanned tail, i always though that till people started to confuse me : though its easy done this is a pic of some that i had in the garden before i started keeping pigeons so are these garden fantails??

brilliant !! well done ;D

nestboxes what size should they be ?? my joiner is going to put me as many nest boxes in ma new loft as possible, bearing in mind i only want a simple set up for my few birds that are just pets.... what are the minimum requirements and do i need a ledge to stop chicks falling out ?? etc .. any pics would be really helpful sorry im asking so many questions but i want to get it right at this stage

Pete what part of the country do phantom flyer cover? i need them getting from tyne and wear and bringing to south yorks

thanks guys theres some useful information there how are you pecked hen hope you and birds are doing well thanks pete will do
