yeah sure mate as soon as its up and painted i get some pics to show you

yes look forward to seeing it mark.......

we have to get 2 x sets of 8 widowhood boxes, divise either folding/sliding shutters for the loft fronts (all are just open mesh windows at the minutes as they have been since June when i took the plastic sheeting off, segregate the back section for the widowhood hens and allow access to a small avairy

Lightning is that the small avary that covered half an acre last time i was down there lol
Ken

no mate that one not big enough, lol

havnt got my aviery on yet either ken.........

WE ARE THE SAME DADIV ALOT TO DO THIS YEAR NEW OBXES GOING IN FOR NATIONAL PIGEONS AND MAKING ANOTHER LOFT FOR THE YOUNG BIRDS TO RACE FROM O THE JOYS IT NEVER ENDS THIS

i know john, can never seem to get finnished with it.....started painting the loft and something more important came up, namely decorating....... got my orders off the mrs....

ii david
just like my wife when she asks me to do a job around the house
and my chin all most hits the floor.
she always says it.s funny you are always have plenty to do in that loft.
but when i ask you to do a job in the house all i get is SILENCE OR I DID NOT HERE YOU.

they must all be the same john, dont they know pigeons come first....lol (not really.....lol)

thy can be funny that way

hi john, did you ever get your uncles loft put up ? i remember you saying that you had it laid down in sections ready to put up at some point......

no david
it must be over 40 years old
so it is still standing there .
but when i go down and take a look at it i still get a lump in my throat.
with no pigeons in it things are beginning to take there toll.
nature is beginning to claim it. bits falling of it here and there.
just upset me. but will have to just move on and make the best of it

yes i understand john, when you think it was such a hive of activity at one point with winners in the loft etc......i pass some old allotments sometimes and there are still the old pigeon lofts stood deralict on some of them and i often wonder who the pigeon men were who raced to them many years ago.

if ken comes down i will take him down to goerges old loft as the old cock will be put back there with a hen next year so he will see all the lofts and will let him handle the old lad and some of his sons and daughters when he comes up

hopefully he will ba able to take some photos and put them on the site for everyone to see john.

well you know your welcome as well david would be a good time to meet the both of you

look forward to seeing kens loft report on you stormqueen.

not much he can say about me little hen but he will have plenty to say about the birds am sure

Get all alterations completed before racing and breeding starts

mainly painting still left to do yet, altho i will be fitting new nest boxes in a section ive yet to finish but there wont be any birds in there for a while so it shouldnt disturb anything....got round to seperating cocks and hens today at last, hopefully they will have a good rest and moult before next season.....

Good for you mate start getting ready for the new season

yes don, i need everthing ready this year...... i dont want a repeat of last season when i wasnt ready and couldnt race.

The new season is won now getting everything ready now you have the time
