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 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. |

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 hen on the nest is a double inbred granddaughter of Dave's best breeder, 410. |
