So.......where were we???
Oh yea....a pigeon loft. So, let me ask you this. What do you plan to do with these birds? Are you getting into racing? Where are you getting your birds from? Unless you can afford to (and want to) put a big building to house all of your birds, IMO, you're best best would be to start with your breeder loft and YB loft. An OB loft can come later.

sorry for the delay in response... i didnt think anyone world reply tonight lol
I emailed the American Racing Pigeon Union and they gave me some numbers of local guys in racing clubs near me. i went to a couple meetings where they were shipping the birds and met some guys who said they would give me some breeders to start off with. yes i would like to get into racing pigeons. do you think 120 square feet is too small for OBS Breeding and YBS sections? im limited to 120 square feet for the permit im actually almost done re-drawing up the plans to scale. i will upload it shortly. oh... plz excuse my horrible spelling

I think I'd do away with that fourth section. It wouldn't be used but about 3 months out of the year.
I'd go with a three section.

yea..i would get rid of the forth section to..now you might as well make it 16 ft long, because the pywood comes in 4 ft sheets..so it would be 10 x 16..you could go 12x 16 also....you might want more nest boxes in the breeding area?? that is if you are going to breed alot. I like that you can come in and not be right in the loft with the birds

I think that looks nice...but I forget why there are nest boxes in the ybs section..8 x 12 is a nice loft....
...I think your getting down to the nitty gritty ...oh and your drawings are not chicken sratch..it looks great.

ok i moved the door on the YBS section.
as for the nestboxes in the YBS section I thought i read a reply from someone saying I could put some in there to be used by pairs if needed. not a good idea? I can remove them np... it would be less building how about I remove the left hand nestbox in the YBS section and just leave the right side one? I will edit plans and upload new ones in a second

That looks good to me too. I also like the idea of being able to go into the loft through a hallway and not actually be "with" the birds. However, with your limited space, I would somehow incorporate a sort of "foyer" at the entry way and make the rest of the loft for the birds.
