Good or Bad Idea.

[greenlands]

Decided the other day to alter the young bird loft and let a bit more air into it.Good or bad Idea or not, I'm half way there.I cut six inch off the top of the perspex window and fit some weld mesh ,then to stop the rain blowing in I fit a piece of sterling board along the hangover.

Have I done right ? what's you opinion ?

hi lindsay

ive gone 1 better and never had any bother

ive a wire door at 1 end a1/2 wire door at the other end a 4ft wire sputnick

all open 24 hours a day

the loft overhang keeps the rain out unless its blowing a gale

then i will close the door faceing the wind

 

the y/bs looked a picture and had no health problems with them

If the birds are healthy and well trained there is every possibility

The more oxygen your birds get the better. You will notice that a lot of the top Belgium Flyers have weld mesh frames they can fit to the doors and windows during the daytime. Clean fresh air and sunshine are very important to keep your birds healthy.

i think its a gd idea i have a wire door on my young bird loft also have a big avairy for them and the rain can some times drive in the loft but they kept healthy in it and all looked the part

The more the frech air the better,good idee

[Guest youngzimmy]

should have made it the whole window cant get enough air threw the loft i have three 6ft x 3ft weld mesh on one loft and two on the other and the doos are looking great

Great job Greenlands - I prefer to have plenty of air (not drafts)

This year i have also changed the ventilation in the Yb loft. I covered the floor with 3mm aluminium perferated sheet - 5mm holes Hundreds of them and i drilled every one of them through the floor so now the air comes under loft through floor and out the new chimneys. Also helps cleaning, done in minutes. SL

Just a thought, wouldn't the holes get blocked up over a period of time and need cleaning out, if not, a great idea

Would have loved to done the whole window but the amount of rain we get up here it would be a mop and bucket job rather than a scraper.
