sapper756 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 As we are currently experiencing very low temperatures at present, what precautions if any do you take in the loft at this time of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddymac Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I just make sure that the water in the drinker is changed regulary so it doesn't freeze over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenlands Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Put salt on the footpath to the lofts so i don't end up on my ar*e.If it's forecast hard frost I take the drinker out at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 i only half fill the drinkers so if they freeze i just pour some hot tap water on top which is enough to melt the ice if id time i would do as lindsay does and empty them at night an fill them in the morning not used my loft heating this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 birds get more beans added to there afternoon feed, drinkers were poured out just before dark last night as saves all that messing about next morning getting cold fingers,oh, and i wrap up warmer also birds are not paired up yet, brrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 IMO after a prolonged spell of freezing temps the pigeons always look the better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
