Mee Family Loft

Front hallway Front hallway Sliding door Back section
Front hallway facing the entrance. Front hallway as you walk in. Sliding door divides the loft in half creating two sections approximately 6' wide X 12' deep, 15' deep if you count the fly pens on the front. This gives them a lot of room to exercise when in the loft and creates several different opportunities for us like ease in sorting birds, training two different teams, sorting early returnees from late returnees, and a plethora of other bonuses. Back section looking out to the fly pen. Walls have double sided plywood and the roof has metal roofing over plywood. This keeps the inside cool in the summer, warm in the winter. In the fall it creates a perfect environment for maintaining form as the temperature outside is nearly the same as inside with no drafts, when it gets cold it will be slightly warmer inside than outside.
Back section Young birds Front section Back section
Back section with young bird team. There are twenty perches in each section on the back walls, in the future we may hold as many as forty pigeons per section as the loft was designed to hold 100. Young birds resting on the perch. Front section with screen door closed. Back section with screen door closed.
Open field Individual breeding sections Each section has a shelf for the nest Pair of direct Klaas imports
Open field to the west side of the loft. We breed from ten individual breeding sections. Each section is 32" X 32" X 4' tall. We believe in quality and not quantity, when we want to boost production we use fosters. Each section has a shelf for the nest. When the youngsters are about two weeks old they are moved below to the wire so their parents will re-lay as soon as possible. Beautiful pair of direct Klaas imports.
The cock on the left is a son of Dave Clausing's 2003 Million Dollar Race winner Never Say Die.  
The hen on the nest is a double inbred granddaughter of Dave's best breeder, 410.
