Sorry for the sound, not sure what happened but it cut out early several times. If you have any questions about any of the lofts please let me know.

[@212acres3]

[@littleloftonthehill]

Hope it goes well for you! Happy New Year!

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

One of the best videos on lofts

[@littleloftonthehill]

Thanks!

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

We love small working lofts like these…lumber is pricey!! Do some more

[@littleloftonthehill]

Don’t hate me, I am building a little larger loft 😬 but I like small lofts as well

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

Man I love the small lofts! More content please

[@littleloftonthehill]

Thanks for watching!

I love my doves so much, better than most people.

[@littleloftonthehill]

Are you saying you love your doves more than someone else loves their doves or are you saying you love doves more than you love most people… I guess both ways work.

[@ThundercatLoft]

Well I see where you got your inspiration from. That water holder is pretty great. What about something like that for your feeder as well??

[@leethorpe2743]

Enjoyed seeing Larry’s lofts. Still does the deep litter

[@littleloftonthehill]

I am still over there everyday taking care of his birds, he is slowly getting better. He will come out and sit. I will tell him you said hello!

[@leethorpe2743]

Thanks Tom. I miss seeing Larry. Hey in response to your question about how many youngsters people breed. Here in Tennessee my club members and I breed about 100 and loose well over half. Crazy I know. When I flew in Auburn I would raise about 35 and loose many half. Last year I raised 90and sent 12 out to OLR and after the young bird season I had 63 left

[@mickgolden5987]

[@Luxshithan.F]

First loft was best one !

[@littleloftonthehill]

Glad you liked it

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

... Interesting.

[@burakloft568]

Very nice. The water would fine in the summer time here in Minnesota but winter time they would freeze 🥶

[@littleloftonthehill]

Hope your snow melts soon! Our grass is already starting to dry if it is not watered

[@burakloft568]

@@littleloftonthehill my parents live in Missouri and have cut grass 4 time already. We just started to get little green grass

[@mayodeonse5075]

that's okay, just put a piece of plywood temporarily at the top of the landing board so they can't see inside. its perfect design

[@snj2639]

First

[@faroutgenetics59]

I am building a loft also my front will have a door up higher and the screen windows will be on the sides of the door

[@littleloftonthehill]

Sounds like a good plan 👍

[@annebrasher302]

Nice

[@orlandosanfeliz2956]

The loft is very nice. My sugestión is put the traps close to the roof . The birds gone to trap fast.

[@littleregrets8810]

Pegions are so underrated

[@littleloftonthehill]

[@CarranzaHugo]

Nice, keep it up. I like the videos!

[@littleloftonthehill]

Thanks Hugo 👍

[@tomherbert6792]

Tom love your little loft .but would you like to go abit bigger ? But suppose its manageable..

[@littleloftonthehill]

Yes! I built this for my daughter to fly out of six years ago. She had expressed interest when she was younger. I really need three that size. It would allow let me fly the whole program. OB and YB, both with small teams. Like you said keep it manageable. This video was more for me. Looking for ideas. Making it into a KZbin video was an afterthought. I added my little loft to the front of it and posted it for others. All the best!

[@JPeeee]

The bad side of having a tin roof is that when it rains it makes a lot of noise for the pigeons inside. I recommend sandwich plates for the roof.

[@littleloftonthehill]

Maybe a new loft 🤔

[@darinbrewer301]

Try a ( pull shade) on that inside window,maybe that will work for ya!

[@littleloftonthehill]

Great idea! 💡

[@darinbrewer301]

glad I could help

[@orlandosanfeliz2956]

The loft is very nice. My sugestión is traps close to the roof

[@littleloftonthehill]

Great idea, they want to land the highest spot they can 👍

[@edwardmiles4911]

Very good and practical. Cheers KAAPSTAD

[@littleloftonthehill]

Thanks!

[@muhamadomar2040]

I wish you took your time when you show the setup for the water system

[@littleloftonthehill]

Hi Muhammad, I will put it in my next video at the very end, I will post it on Friday

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

Question…can you race from something as small as the breeding hutches?

[@littleloftonthehill]

I guess you could, there would be a couple issues, with races come losses, you would need to keep pairs separate in such a small, if you lost a mate it would be hard for the other pigeon to race back to an empty breeding cage. I did a 4H group for a couple years. Six 5 week old pigeons to little 3x8 rabbit hutches. The kids would train their birds and we did races. We started to have problems as the birds started to mature. One pair would dominate the other birds, not let them off a perch to feed, water etc.

[@mandydorpinghaus252]

Are all the lofts built with treated lumber or a stain?

[@littleloftonthehill]

The small loft at the beginning of the video just has treated lumber on the floor. The older lofts at the end were stained years ago but it has since warn off.

[@rajendragodiya3231]

Sir I love pigeon... Gift me 1 pair

[@littleloftonthehill]

unfortunately I don’t have any to spare, good luck!
