Guest Walt21 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hello EveryoneIm Ben from Macclesfield i started pigeon racing a couple of years ago and with help from fanciers from my club being the macclesfield club was given some old lofts unfortunatley due a large problem wth rats iv lost most of my pigeons and the sheds are now unfit to be used due to them chewing a large amount of holes in them, so im looking for a second hand pigeon loft approximately 30ft by im not looking for it for free, but need one urgently as the season is starting soon. I really want to race some young birds.Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDYELLOW Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Welcome To Pigeon Basics Walt21, congratulations on your first post , as been said your first priority is to remove the vermin problem then look to get a loft probably much cheaper to build your own tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walt21 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi everyone, i have tried and tried with these rats, the loft is on my allotment i have had traps i keep 2 dogs up there, the dogs are catching them and the traps are 2 i have also laid down poision, but there are still coming in. The bloke on the next allotment has chickens and he leaves corn everywhere. So i want to put a new loft in my girlfriends back garden. The ones i have now are no where near in good enough condition to use and i only have 20 pigeons lefgt out of 75. I go there and block the holes up the next day there is another hole its absolutley riddled with them. Everytime i go up i expect to see another set of wings and a carcus on the floor.

Still you would be probably better to build yer own loft would work out much cheaper 8ft x 4ft shutter board and 2'x2' make a good loft and pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is rat glue?you could make a good job of it and put upvc cladding on you'd get no complaints just compliments Rat glue is just that a sticky glue that you can paste on a board rat walks on it gets stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
