andy Burgess Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 our neighbour here had hens at the back of Seona,s "white bird loft" . it was some battle keeping the red mite away Frank. more due to the man than the hens i think
bibendium Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 My Old man kept chickens in a wee area behind his lofts and never had any problems. Oh and I think after he died I got the chickens, have no Idea where the racing pigeons went lol
Kyleakin Lofts Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 There are some cross-infection risks, but with proper housekeeping they should be manageable.

Buff Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Good hygiene Biosecurity and there should be no problem , a foot dip of disinfectant would be a good idea at your loft door ðŸ‘
