New Florida Loft - ACE IN THE HOLE LOFTS


Here are a few pics of the new loft. It is still not finished, but far enough for the birds to break it in.

Ace

One thing I want to point out is the way the ends of the deck are left open for better air flow under the loft.

The two holes in the center covered by wood strips are the opening to the 2'X2'x8' aviary that is comming soon. The loft can be divided into two sections as will the aviary, thus the two openings for cocks and hens. The trap will be right on top of the aviary.

The birds look happy in their new southern home.

Nice looking loft. What was your budget on that loft. I do like it much better than the starter loft, more room better ventilation. Very nice for how fast you built it. Glad that Becky is getting those birds. She is on a mission.

Hi Randy,

So far the total cost on this loft out of pocket is $140.00. I brought most of the materials to build it with me when I came down.

Its a great loft, and nice looking birds. I'm taking it that you just moved there, so I'm glad you made it safely. Your lucky to be in florida, except during hurricane season. Thats the only time I wouldn't like it there. mindy
