what do you need to have in your pigeon shed

[Guest bakes]

and there is light coming through the window plus have an light in the shed fitted to a dimer timer

[Guest shadow]

get rid of the lino it will harbour bugs underneath it plus you can not scrape it clean

[just ask me]

personally i like a floating floor in a loft guaranteed to be dry

[chrisbonnie]

floor grit is pretty nifty, i just got it the other week for my loft, just lay it on thick ,then rake it every day, you`ll only have to change the grit every few weeks, depending on how many birds you have

[wilkins]

lino is fine if fitted correctly , seen plenty of good fliers use it during the summer months

 

but , i have a deep litter in mine of hemp straw 8 months old so now mostly dried dropping , i was told by a vet if you dont have grids or can not scrape out 2-3 times a day you are better with a dry dropping method

i dissided to rip the lino up just have to make sure i scrap the floor daily when i get the young birds in started to make some more boxs but ran out of wood so one box will be a bit smaller than the rest but aint bothered about that

 

[just ask me]

also mate i like to stick up perches in as many places as possible as the birds may think there is more space in the loft and they have a choice keeps them happy i do like the box perches myself but also where  u can the v perches works a treat

u seem to be way ahead of any of us mate the only thing i would say is i rather the the grey drinkers to use as drinkers the third link  also grit should really be changed every day and if u use smaller pots u wont use as much

 

hope u dont think im nitpicking

some good pics there u might get an idea or two  

[donker46]

i think you should leave the floor bare my father always has and hes winning. plus i think woodchips create to much dust and can store bugs and deseases although people do win with chips. and paint the floor with creaosoap

[gangster]
