CLEAN LOFT OR DIRTY LOFT

do you clean out every day or do you let it build up just wandering what people do .

Race loft twice a day, stock loft not as much, until the eggs hatch.

race season 2x aday in the wintewr every other day no deep liter

Never use deep litter, tried it once, never again.

we clean the boxes twice aday in race season and once in the winter,thats everyday no matter what including xmas day.we are on deep litter also just to make it easier .it gives us more time with the birds

clean floors and boxes ,perches etc daily

every day evrything. if i am about twice once morning once night. no deep litter. altho i was going to try it over the the breeding period as i have noticed they get a lot looser droppings once they have laid . i just thought it would help keep it drier then siv any bits out. does anybody else do this?? was going to use easy bed from the horse feed suppliers.

I put sprinkling of straw along the floor were the boxes are, this is changed daily, but an thinking of putting a board there, to aid cleaning.

yes i guess a board may help then just take it outside to scrap off. i did notice the parents and youngans have loose droppings like , i guess that comes from just being fed cornmilk and the mother birds vent being streched by the eggs.

That's the one mate, it's always a good indication when the are about to lay. Too.

oh realy, nice one cnt wait to breed my first round like .

That's what it's all about mate. It's hard work, but well rewarding and a great experience.

clean all boxes and perches twice a day and blow lamp them at weekend
all floors are on deep litter of shavings and straw which gets turned twice aday
drinkers are changed each day the spare set go in a tub of miltons over night
and dust the boxes each day with loft white

yes i can imagine the way i will feel with a loft full of newly hatched squekers and knowing that this is my race team i have bred . hopefully it will entice my little lad and our lass a bit more into it aswel . i dnt mind all the work at all .in fact i like it.

i clean once a week dont see any problems i do clean the floor of each section every day tho,

in race season ill clean loft out once aday and use that loft white on the floor and boxes every other day i think,

Good man. I hope you have a good breeding season and they do well for you next year. That's the real buzz.

lol gary stay on topic

and when babys in nest i dont clean the pans or the box out untill they are weaned and moved,

cheers gary , seems a long time to wait for 8 races but there is an awful lot to do inbetween now and the first race so i arnt that bothered really and i know i will be fully prepared .and birds well prepared also.

thats the best part breeding and if you get a few winners ts even better its nice to say i bred that its not an over night thing but with good birds and fed well it can be done good luck to all this comming season hope someone breeds a national winner

am with you on that buddy . good luck to everybody !!!!!. if i even just get a place card i will get so then i will feel as fk !!!!!

perches and boxes daily floor is deep litter for winter for all birds and ybs are weaned onto fresh deep litter which is not changed until racing is over but again perches cleaned daily and blow torched once a week and dusted with loftguard

when the racing season is on i scrape out every day, perches and floor............in the stock shed i have laysoft bedding down all year round.

in winter i scrape out a couple of times a week.
