all the sections are made up, as is the fronts of the lofts, just need the go ahead and some fast block builders, and rough casters the foundation will need leveling up by the look of the photos that should never have happened as it looks to have about a 2foot slope each end could be wrong but i dont think so. best of luck you will need it this day and age, with the losses that other one loft racers have discovered the darkness plan will be close to fulfil

the loop hole used here, only works so long as the loft has moved on the next visit by planing a few feet is all that need to be moved technically

but you just get up there goat and dont expect any favours and may then pass with restrictions

sounds to me as if it is try this year and if it dont work move on quick buck ?

i thought i read they were hoping for a thousand ybs for this one loft race 2 lofts at 40 foot say 5 8 feet sections for each loft 100 birds per section dont think so i would not even put half that amount in them 2 lofts it will be a disaster health wise for the birds

[Guest bigda]

yes i think it will be tight but i dont want to be a stickler i think the trailer should have guy ropes on just now for safety from high winds, i also noticed in the new sections

widowhood boxes are they all going to get a box or is it only some birds that will get a box or they going to be on different systems here

[bigjamie]

the sections should all be the same and all the birds raced on the same system i for one dont like the style of the lofts over 100 perches in each section 40 foot loft the best of luck to billy and all thats entered but the lofts are not big enough for the amount of birds they are looking to house in them only my opinion

just wondering why the nest boxes

[bigjamie]

i was thinking the same danny

[Guest bigda]

you could olso have say 50 more hens than cocks giving them more space in there section or using up a extra section i dont think its is well thought out and if the loft section is only the width of the trailer that cant be any more than 8 feet and they then have a corider making it 8x 6 288 cubic feet max some thing has to give you could take away another 80 cubic feet for the perches giving it 200 cubic feet per section

jamie this one loft only holds 600 comfortble and its 20 foot wide by around 250 ft each section has 10 ft wide aviary on front so they canny be cramming a 1000 yb in 2 40x8 lofts

 

there is no comparison to this set up

Could you explain what you mean Peter.Is there plenty of room ? What size of sections are there to how many birds ? Maybe someone could enlighten us on how many entries there are expected and how much space etc is available, ie aviaries etc.

Del there's a video on the one loft website showing the sections about aviaries there's none yet but when I was there billy said there would be one running the length of the loft also seen someone mentioned about the next boxes in a couple of sections I was told those are not for the one loft birds

Planning system is open and transparent and the application process from beginning to end is available to all on line. According to Scottish Borders website, this application is undetermined. As you said, very unprofessional.

Maidstone is the final race Rab so I doubt the SNFC race is a no go.I think he might use the SNRPC who are going the week before

Billy Holland knows what he is doing, the birds will be looked after and he won't cram pigeons into somewhere they cannot fit.

George we do know he has to get another trailer just for the other section

alone that we know of as it is stated 2 x40 feet lofts getting another starts to being three separate one loft races is it not so the doos aint all racing to the one loft race

[peter2010]

Totally agree with that you just have to look at the guys record atb

[geordie1234]

[BURNMOUTH PAT]

[Delboy]

george i am not the guy that lays the last straw on the cammels back that does the damage there has been others that have tried one loft races and got cleaned out

with E-COLI 1,000 birds means a full time job for a vet. and three guys with scrapers full time
