Need a good easy loft coop idea anyone?Hell
Here in Ontario Canada it gets really cold~! So far we have built a deck that is about 1 feet high and is 12 by 12 by 12 feet We want to construct a a shed coop on top of that that will be 10 by 10 by 8 feet high The thing about this shed coop i want it to be universal it will be so humans can walk in and needs to be good for both chickens and pigeons So it needs to be tall also I really just want something really simple and nothing fancy that will be good in the winter none of us have much experience in building but it will require a tiny trap door for the pigeons We are not sure exactly what species of bird we are going to put in it which is why i want it to be universal because it will save us issues in the future Any help would be so great! I would love to print it out and show it to my friends thanks so much *hugs*

here is an idea that may work, the weather sheilds can be taken down in the summer. it should face south, and fyi, it is hard to catch a pigeon when the roof is over 6ft tall.

SW is right. 8ft is WAY to tall. You'll have a really really hard time catching pigeons. I actually wouldn't go over 6 ft and even lower, depending on how tall you are. IMO, you DO need an aviary. Doesn't matter if the birds are out all day or not. There will be days that they can't be out. Rain, snow, high winds............they still need a place to be able to get out in the fresh air even if they are out of the loft most of the time.
