Thank you, I took a break, then it stretched into a sabbatical! Thanx for watching

Cool. There's gonna be a Red Check bird at Little Loft this year. Just a suggestion when using an all wire breeding cage with wire flooring.. Add a small piece of wood, maybe a 1" x 10" x 12" long to one side of the cage flooring so the birds can get off of the wire and on to a solid surface if they want to.. It's hard on their feet walking around on the gaps in the flooring, which they really don't like to do if they can help it. Just found your channel btw and hit the sub button.. Good luck on the pairings with the OLR birds and the rest of the crew..

[@RichOnLife-1]

Thanx, I have already put a 10” long 2X4 in each one. Thanx for watching

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@@RichOnLife-1 .. YW. Good deal

[@littleloftonthehill]

They look great Rich! I love reds. Best pigeon first year I flew was a red. My single pair took 18 days after I put them in the single cage to lay. It took them a while to comfortable in the new setup. Had I left them in the loft it would have been quicker. Hope breeding goes well for you! Happy New Year!

[@RichOnLife-1]

This is my 1st time trying the single cages, the rest, for my race team will be in the loft. You never know til you try!

Birds look good. Do you close the door to your breeding loft during the day? I'd worry about hawks reaching through the grates is why I ask.

[@RichOnLife-1]

Yes, it is closed except middle summer! Thanx for watching!

[@fabricdragon]

argh! can you share a link to the tractor supply product? i find what LOOKS like those cages, but they are 60 bucks.... and i could really use some "grow out" cages

[@RichOnLife-1]

They are normally $58. There was a Christmas sale and I had a 15% coupon. Came out to be about $28 each. My store only had 3, I wanted 6

[@fabricdragon]

ah, drat. i will keep an eye on those for future sales! @@RichOnLife-1

[@fabricdragon]

those two black birds... lol. i know its not but they look like both of them are thinking "is... is that me? is that a mirror? what?"

[@RichOnLife-1]

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by the way they just stared at each other! Thanx for watching

[@fabricdragon]

i had a pair hatched November 22nd... good bloodlines also banded 2023. want to consider trading?

[@RichOnLife-1]

I’m not sure if these 2 will be any good! Then hen was last in my loft!

[@fabricdragon]

ah well, you never do know. well fingers crossed, right? @@RichOnLife-1

Be honest - nobody has been racing since before you were born. 😂
