jupiter_19630 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Well ideally I want to race them I won't have a prob getting young ones to start with as I know a few people just now but I feel like I'm pestering them lol and most have them have 30 ft lofts and bigger so I can really compare my ten by six loft to there's if you had a ten by six how would you set it out mate any advice will be much appreciatedHi, None the fanciers you know will consider you a pest. They will be only to happy to give you all the help and advice you need. The number of fanciers in the sport is in decline so nearly all fanciers will do what they can to encourage and help newcomers to the sport. With out newcomers in a few years they will have no one to race against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadow Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 you need to check the deeds to you property it may not say excludes pigeons but may say poultry and as far as planning depts go they class pigeons as poultry in most areas youneed to be asking locally for advice because the council will still have an input even if the house is privately owned, good luck its a minefield tryin to get anywhere.
