Hi all, My dad died recently. He flew the Welsh North Road for years, following on from my grandad, who flew since the '30s. My dad stopped racing 20 years ago, but but kept his pigeons until his death. I've got pigeons in my blood and after mulling it over for a while, I can't possibly get rid of them. My plan is to bring all his (mostly untrained) pigeons to my place and breed a new generation of Thurso and Lerwick winners, if they still fly North Road, haha. Anyway, I'm wondering how best to to structure the loft and how many loft sections you'd recommend. I'd like to give myself the option of flying widowhood and it's likely I might need to keep some of the birds locked up permanently if they don't adjust to the new loft location. From what I understand, you need a minimum of 4 sections for widowhood: breeding cocks, breeding hens, young birds and everything else. I'm guessing I'll also need a section for the birds that keep flying back to my dad's place, so 5 sections in total. Does that sound right? What would you all recommend? I've got the option of moving his 7' x 14' (actually 2.2m x 4.4 m) loft to mine, which is currently in two sections, or building a new loft from scratch, with space for a loft of about the same dimensions.
