Loft Chores

[sapper756]

As we enter the autum months and head into the dark winter nights, does this result in members altering their routines?

 

For example, feeding times

 

how many times the lofts are cleaned

 

how often the birds get their liberation

I've chandged the feeding in the morning and scraping out every 2 to 3 days other than the usual e times a day

i continue my usual thing ..birds cleaned out everyday and fed at 4pm everyday..does help to have electricity in the loft mind you for lights ect

I let my birds out everyday if weather permits ..i dont like holding them in the loft for days on end.

the only thing different is the times we let the birds out,they are out a lot less here but they have a large avery on every section so they are not actually stuck inside the loft

I continue to clean the lofts out daily, however, I reduce the feeding regime from twice a day, to only once a day. The hens never get out over the winter, and the cocks rarely get out, possibly on a weekend for a bathhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

During the off season I treat my birds like my youngsters,out mid morning (weather permitting) and fed once a day,cleaned twice a day.Before I retired they only went out weekends and were fed evenings and cleaned before feeding,using lights.
