each pair needs 18 cubic feet of space, your loft allows you to keep only 54 pairs

Warriec.......not 54 pair.......that would be 108 birds
A 6 X 24 would hold 57 birds, according to calculations. I would say no MORE than 50 birds. 40 would be better.

Saw a great futurity loft the other day. The floor was sideways 1x2s with spacers making a grated floor. it had three sliding doors that could separate it into three compartments. Each section could open up to the entire aviary or they could be sectioned off. It was about the same size loft. It had a max of 100 racers. More in the neighborhood of 60 if you housed breeders and prisoners. The aviary was huge, about 4 x 20 x 5 feet tall. Loved the floor, felt much sturdier than a metal floor, and the birds liked it better. I was thinkin of making this floor in my next loft that either could be removable, or covered with plywood in the winter. The loft had no dust ard great air circulation.
