rasbull Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Richard Shepherd (Rasbull Lofts) - Hi I have just finished building my new loft 12x6 - 6x6 on a L shape with a 3ft corridor. My stock birds will be housed in the 6x6 which is going to have an aviary put on at a later date. My 12x6 loft is going to house my youngsters this year and from then on will be my racing loft. I plan to extend the new loft along the platform and have a new 9 x 6 loft for my youngsters from next year onward. I have taken some pictures of the birds I have purchased so far for my stock loft. Thank you for looking.
rasbull Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 The Cheq hen in the 5th picture down is a full sister to the 2nd Open Europa Classic and 1st ACE Pigeon. Purchased 4 days before the Europa Classic 2008!

rasbull Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 SDB - The Dark Cheq Pied is a Jan Aarden. Its a direct son from Champion Crowning Glory from Ian Axe. I am thinking of selling him though as he is the only Jan Aarden I have. He is a 2008 bird and I purchased him in November.

rasbull Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 Just finished fitting the new young bird section out with nest boxes. I am gonna leave the partition in the box and just remove the front so the youngsters can have half a section of the nest box each. I thought it would be easier to line it out now with nest boxes as this is my old bird section for next year. The pic 3 youngsters were my first ones which I weaned off today.
DAVIDL Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 very nice job you have done there rasbull, loft and nestboxes are spot on...good luck for the racing season.
