Interesting domain name - "plansforfree" - but then they charge for them? LOL

Anyone looking for truly 'free' plans for starter lofts can find them at several websites.

This is one of the best sources I've found yet:

Hey Andi, here's one that gives you the plan for free, but just no pretty pictures which, of course, we all love to see.

Might be a little slow loading as it's in PDF format. But it's worth it.

Is this new loft going to be your breeding loft? We have a loft designed after the one at Red Rose, it's just a little bigger. The section we have our cocks in has some nest boxes that are pretty nice to raise youngsters in. I don't know of a specific site that has plans for breeding boxes though. The pictures can be found here:

You have a lovely loft. It is going to be a breeding box. What should be the dimension for each box.

Thank you.......
Well, the bigger the better..........It should be AT LEAST 24" X 12" X 12". You need room for two nest bowls, one in each corner.

Your breeding box look like a good size. Is it 24" x 12" x 12"?

Is this loft/cage big enough for two un-releasable pigeons? It is 4'Dx 2'Wx 3'H. The enclosed box part is 2'Dx 2'W. I currently have one female feral, over the hump with PMV, that cannot fly without crashing. She may enjoy life more with company, and I wonder if another like pigeon, preferably female, would fit. Suggestions or thoughts welcomed.

ahhh that is cute!...I think another would be fine in there if they got along well and you may need to clean it more often, but it is right at the limit for 2 I would think...can the pigeon get up to a perch? if so that would be a good thing to put in there, if not, a brick to sit on would help and her nails would get filed down from getting on the brick...she would most likely benifit from having a pigeon companion....good luck
