Varies, usually finish work at 2.30pm. Very rarely do I go into them before work at 7am. Let the race birds out around 4ish. Clean the lofts through. Get them in about 5pm. See to the youngsters then and potter about doing odd jobs in the loft, feed them all about 6ish. Back and forth throughout the evening until it gets dark.

In the summer when the kids and mrs can sit out in the garden much longer (work permitting)

[Guest mick bowler]

Its amazing the varying times we all spend in the sheds. I wonder if numbers of birds kept makes a difference?

 

i'm spending around 4 - 5 hours in there when i get the time, i was quite surprised when i totted it up, but i think it is paying dividends all round.
