knew a man who raced to a large aviary that was once for budgies and he won evrything in front of him ,wind rain snow and sleet all kinds of weather blew through it and pigeons were a picture of health only thing i would suggest is to have a dog to keep cats away as they would beable to sit underneath/on top

W/hood sheds made only 4' deep could be your answer. Cocks locked in their boxes at all times, no need for floor space. The front of the shed to be made to allow the doors to open fully. Pair up as early as possible and keep the pairs locked in their boxes. You can make a grilled front to put on your shed whilst rearing. When the y/birds are 12 days old take the hen away leaving the cock to finish rearing one y/bird each, you can start letting the cocks out for exercise from then on in. Locked fed and watered in their boxes after exercise. The depth of the shed means there's no need to enter the shed at all.
