heating in loft

[phillips]

ive recently had heaters installed in my loft and they are turned on via a thermastat when it drops to 10 degrees is this around the right temp for them to switch on at

thanx jason

Never been a big fan of artificial heat in the loft, keep the birds tough, and allow them to deal with the elements, the ever changing weather throws at them simply, my opinion m8 Good luck

[jimmy white]

no neither do  i , nothing, like a minus 2 degrees , to kill all the nasties in the loft , the pigeons dont mind this cold at all ,, birds were in the bath ,, weekend ,,frrreezing

not sure if this would bring on a false condition?

if your to use heating im lead to believe it should only be used in the racing season to create a constant temperature hence allowing the birds to come into condition

[phillips]

if i was to just use it in racing season wht temp should it be set at

cheers jason

[just ask me]

i would only use heating for the first few races when there can be cold or a cold east wind  wouldn't use it all year just my opinion i'e i don't use it myself don't sure on correct temperature

[Wiley]

if i was to just use it in racing season wht temp should it be set at

IM INSTALLING IT IN THE STOCK SECTION ONLY, JUST TO HELP THEM OUT A LITTLE WITH EARLY BREEDING

I tried it for a couple of years, found no advantage really. 10  degrees C. is the recommended setting. Vic.

LMAO...

 

My birds are open to the elements year out year in, fit as fiddles, they love the snow. The only reason I'd put a heater in the shed would be to keep the silver bead on the point of me nose from freezin.

 

Best of luck mate, I can understand you would might need a little heat for new hatched youngsters if the temperature was really low.
