mark Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 whats all this about stock birds ?? in the not so long past , best racer paired to best racer bred our future stock , with the odd pair of non flying out pigeon , . one scenario that needs changing is the idea to novices that stock pigeons are the bee all and end all ! my m8 opposite has about 200 pigeons !! about 30 pair which are stock , young birds mainly not raced because they are from >> blah , blah , blah !!! result being when something does well and i ask whats it from ? it seems to be off something that has raced . am i making sense ? i think you are spot on people obsessed about fancy pedigrees. i dont think it hurts when you are starting up to breed yourself a few. as with the amount of ybs losses you always have the back up to breed a few more if it all goes wrong.
whiteracer Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 Or this - another 6x4 with a sputnik taking up most of the length. I have perspex on the top of the sputnik but the sides are mesh so there is a good airflow through the loft. What a luvly little stock loft,thats just what iam after as i am running out of room in garden How many birds you got in there mate?
GypUK Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 I'm just starting up with Rollers and i only have a 6x4 shed. Any chance of a picture of whats inside please.

Sorry, I don't have the loft now; I needed a larger one. ;D I kept 12 young Logans in it but, I needed more space when it came to breeding. I sold it on eBay - at a profit! :

Guest slugmonkey Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 instead of small avairy try a large flypen on the side this will help keep stock birds in top form

GypUK Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 instead of small avairy try a large flypen on the side this will help keep stock birds in top form Whats the difference between an avairy and a flypen?

REDCHEQHEN Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 avairy stuck to sde of loft so birds can get out into sun flypen allows birds to get out and exercise its larger not always possible if you've only got a small garden and space is restricted
