could end up with a lot of pied uns , put them in a basket out the way .   andy.

[Guest youngboy]

or i could lock them in there boxes!!

[ray]

yes you could if you want all white birds because believe me they can still get paint on them no matter where it is, put them in a basket for a couple of hours unless you have a spare end some where

[OLDYELLOW]

that all depends on paint your using , but surely this is a job you need to do when weather is better and will dry out quicker ? dont want paint on birds feathers nor the fumes  :-/

[Guest youngboy]

maisonary!! just wondering would the fumes effect them no?

[Guest bakes]

if you got spar section move them into there or basket them up wont heart them till the paint drys

[Guest youngboy]

ya but the only thing is most nearly all me stock are sittin on eggs!! i no i didn pick a great time but better late then never :L so if i just lock them in there boxes they should be good ya?

[PATTY BHOY]

simple,NO

[OLDYELLOW]

maisonary!! just wondering would the fumes effect them no?

 

not if got the section well ventilated and it drys fast  :-/ but best to have birds out of harms way imo, isnt massonary paint like plastic and could peel ? :-/

[Craig05]

I wouldnt leave them in the loft, the fumes cant be good for them.  would think you would be better off leaving them in baskets over night rather than in the loft.  

[OLDYELLOW]

id wait till ybs weaned and birds are out of loft on a race day or training and paint then  

[Guest youngboy]

well i never had any problems with the loft being damp anyway? but i will admit isint the best ventilated but shurely not the worste !!well i got told that is outdoor paint!! i havent yet purchased it yet? could you recommend a good one?

[Guest youngboy]

oh right so ill wait till all ybs are weaned and out and abouts so!! thanks for the help!!

[OLDYELLOW]

i dont paint my loft havent painted any of mine due to it flaking off , my Uncle used to use just ordinary white wash , emulsion paint drys pretty quick

[Guest youngboy]

nice 1 thanks very much!!

Mate it will dry in a couple of hours if the weathers ok , or you could get a heater in to sort it out thats if its a water based masonry.

GOOD THINKING BATMAN ;)

[OLDYELLOW]

Locking two birds in with ybs or eggs could be fatal as they'll get distressed and may trample ybs or smash the eggs  

[greenlands]

JMO.Leave well alone,don't paint,weathers too damp,fumes,stress where do you stop.

Better late, than now.

could buy some white plastic cladding then no painting and wipe clean no fumes and birds not over disturbed
