[PATTY BHOY]

what do the members think would be a better option for locating a pigeon loft,on a farm or allotment,no room at house.

All depends PATTY BHOY, if i was in the position, i would put mine in an allotment, there is always someone there for security.

 

Put it in my garden if you wont.  ;D ;D ;D

 

Are you having to move your one like.

[PATTY BHOY]

loft would be 300metres from farmhouse.

[Delboy]

Whatever has best access to water and electricity would take priority with me m8

[grizzal]

I;m lucky ours is in our garden, but from the other 2, I would go with allotment.

You would have other members +lofts and lots of banter   :)

all the best

pm albear he keeps his loft on farm land .

the problem with having a loft on the allotment

there is always pigeons out you never have the sky to your self

i know i did it for 10 years in yorkshire

[PATTY BHOY]

the allotment that i could use has about 8 lofts on it,was thinking of the same prob`s.

[Guest Freebird]

Really depends on the farm. Some are well tidy and well managed for vermin etc. Loft design would be important to keep nasty's at bay. Only really you can decide as you can see both in the flesh and way up the pros and cons. If your loft was on stilts with inverted cones half way up I think that would keep everything from gaining access.

what ever time of day you go to your allotment 4am 5am any time there is always

some one there before you , if you fly w/hood your neigbour will fly natural . but one good thing

there is always some one to look after your birds if you cant

[Guest joshdonlan]

id go for the farm, lots more space and you can do what you like.  

[gangster]

if you decide a farm then use scaffolding to sit the loft on also id advise scaffold polesup behind the loft 2 stop the wind pushing it over on exceptionally bad days

[Guest youngzimmy]

YES FARMS AND THE FIRST THING THAT COMES  TO MIND RATS THERE URINE AND THERE DROPPINGS BEING CARRIED INTO LOFT ON YOUR FEET ALSO MICE AND OTHER RODENTS

[cemetary]

If you decide to move to the alotments, you will already no the lads i pressume, you can also get something fixed out with times for letting the birds out etc. All the best on what ever way you decide mate.  

[Guest youngzimmy]

OF CORSE IF YOU DECIDED ON THE FARM IDEA A PORTO CABIN WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR A LOFT  WITH ITS METAL LEGS EXTENDED AND A TRAY OF STRONG DISINFECTANT OUTSIDE THE LOFT TO STEP IN BEFORE ENTERING THE LOFT

what fed are u in

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

i am on a farm its brilliant, in the fact that i can do what i want the only problem is rats, like what has been said, but this year is the first time i had them bad in 6 years, and the farmer got right on it and they gone again, if you get on well with the owner , you will do better on the farm!!! free corn, nesting material, water electric, ect ect

 

view from my loft, farm house on right

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

I would choose the farm every day of the week, over an allotment situation.  Providing the farmer is Ok with the birds & you being there at any time of the day/night etc. It just allows you to do so much more in your own time sort of thing doing your own thing, without worrying about what the bloke next door is doing with his pigeons etc on a allotment. "Rats' you will find them every where you go "Do what I do" on a regular basis, Feed them !!!!!!!!!!!  (grin grin) & for some strange reason they seem to disappear "Strange That".

Enjoy.
