Doors open

Do you leave your doors open in the winter? Our main doors are open from 8 till 6 all winter regardless of weather. We leave mesh doors open for fresh air ect . Plus stock have a aviary 24/7. Just wondering if others do the same

aviary across front of race loft so no change, stock have aviary on side, just moved the y/b down to race loft they now have to get use to trapping there no great shake takes about 7 -10 days

yes but not in damp weather. always wait until mid morning before we open doors on the dry days in autumn/winter

All open here etc Ray . End of the day thou they are but pigeons I suggest & I've found, the local mongrel types survive some how even in the worst of conditions & locking them up maybe is more for the owners feel good moment aspect than the pigeons, on average.

No need here. They all have aviaries. They sit out in the rain and snow.

yeah same here hal just the 1 loft with wire doors but we are building an aviary on that one just after xmas ,not sure whether to do a box one or full aviary have box one on other 2 lofts and an aviary between them any plastic sheeting you see is removable
