Guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 hi all how many stock pigeons could i keep in a 6ft/4ftloft with an big avery on the side? its not just the size that counts its ventilation min 5prs max 7prs
Guest Grasshopper Lofts Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 i would stick nest boxes along the width of the loft 8 boxes so 8 pairs jmo.
Guest canfordlofts Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 yeah i have widow hood boxes on the side 12 boxes all together
grizzal Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 I would have 6 pair,at the moment we have 8 pair in a 8x6 shed with a small flight on the front
weirbridge Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 would depend how many quality pairs you can find, had trouble finding one very good pair
Guest chrisss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 i have never agreed with the old story of how many birds can i shoehorn into a loft measuring so and so size, i would have thought its all down to how much air the birds can get,i/e ventilation,having a flight is a great idea, but i do not think you can count that in, when it comes to the so called amount of birds you can keep,all its there for is to give the birds some where to go in the day [and if they are prisoners to stop the poor buggers from getting bored ,very underestimated,in my view]to me there is not right answer to this,look to your ventilation then go under what you think should go in there
REDROCKET Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 a 6ftx 4ft loft is far to small for a stock loft as chrisss say's these birds are prisoners and will end up going crazy being confined to such a small loft iv'e got 15 pr in a 24ftx8ft loft with an avary 20ftx6ft and the birds still look as bored if i could turn the clocks back i wouldnt have anything locked in but there you go
Guest canfordlofts Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 yeah but they are only in the loft at night and when they nest they have now got a 6ft/9ft avery on the side so they send all day out there
Guest chrisss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 yeah but they are only in the loft at night and when they nest they have now got a 6ft/9ft avery on the side so they send all day out there yes mate, but if you say 5 pairs in that shed start breeding and you double that [assuming that all of your eggs hatch 8) 8) 8)]have the birds got enough air for themselves never mind double that with yb been brought up
Guest canfordlofts Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 and it was made by a complany for a starter loft anyway
Guest canfordlofts Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 you do know i have 4 lofts all the rest are 14ft/8ft so i just wanted this to house 4 pairs of van reets and they have a open half that is of wire mesh that
REDROCKET Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 hi you asked for peoples opinion and it does'nt matter what you do your birds wont be the worst off mate put you 4 pair in your loft everybody has there own way of dooing things good luck hope they breed you some nice y/bs atb
Guest chrisss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 "you do know i have 4 lofts all the rest are 14ft/8ft so i just wanted this to house 4 pairs of van reets and they have a open half that is of wire mesh that," "hi there has anyone got a spare or old pigeon loft they no longer need i would be willing to pay but not too much i am wanting to start pigeon racing or if you have any spare nest boxes,pearches ect then that would be great," not trying to start a row here mate but which one are you ? are you the guy who has 4 different pigeon lofts,or the new starter after a pigeon loft?,good luck in what you decide to do,i assume you will be racing?
Guest chrisss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 this could get interesting lol i am just been nosy, as the two statements contradict each other?,not looking for a row with anyone here, but i am a bit confused, i have no doubt its all above board,but like i said its a bit confusing
Guest chrisss Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 i take it this was on another thread then yep just trying to figure out which is which ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
REDROCKET Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 sounding like he's been playing to the good nature of us pigeon folksand he's away thinking of an answer. lol
