I’m interested in how coops/lofts are set up for those who keep chickens and pigeons together. If you keep them together please show me your setups! I’m very curious and could use some inspiration!
Hi all! I'm planning my process of getting pigeons next spring, and I am struggling with trying to find a proper loft/aviary that I could put them in. I originally (and still) want to build it myself, but if I find one on Kijiji I will inquire buying it.
Just wanted to know if anyone has...
Because I have multiple coops, I decided to make a short article with links to my loft, chicken run, and coops, along with a few extra notes. So please check out the links and enjoy!

A great summer chicken tractor for a small flock!

A simple and cheap build...
This is the first pigeon loft I have built. I have a small store-built loft for my pair of Birmingham Rollers, Cher Ami and Commando, but as I am expecting eggs and want to get some Homers I decided I needed to expand.
We found an old open-top wooden box at a desirable trash station and took it...
I am finishing my coop build. It is a 6X12 shed style with gambrel roof. The sides are 6 feet tall and the peak of the gambrel roof is about 8 1/2 feet tall. I am wondering, since the rafters are so high, if I should make a loft in the coop and store things like bags of leaves up in the loft for...
I just barely bought some old german owls from Don Hall and I'm excited to start breeding next year. While the birds are blue and silver bars, (4 blues 1 silver) their prettiness makes up for the lack of color variety. I will post some pictures soon when the weather is nice. As for my Turkish...
Hey guys!!! So I currently have 5 young birds. Only one pair and 3 other cocks so I went ahead and bought 3 colorfull young ladies from a breeder in California! Seeing as this will be my first time bringing new birds into a settled flock what can I expect? Should the birds be quarantined like...
Hey guys! So as some of you know I recently got into pigeons and currently have five feathered friends on my hands but recently I've been thinking if its possible to change pigeons flight habits post regularity. As in, my birds do a quick 5 min loft flight each morning and then take off go about...
My journey into pigeons began in May 2018. It all started finding a stray racing pigeon. I managed to contact the owner through the details on its ring and he advised me on how best to care for it and when to release it for it to return to his loft. I had this pigeon living in a 18"x24" cage in...
I’m thinking about what I should do in the loft at the moment to improve the Pigeons lifestyle. What I’m thinking is that I should add in some nest boxes in all sections of the loft because I have at least one pair nesting in each section. I also plan in adding some perches in.
My pigeons are...
So this is my first Pigeon Update on BYC. I usually upload weekly updates on my YouTube channel, on my pigeons and ducks (I don’t talk). At least on BYC I’m able to tell more information on my birds, so I will get started.
Pigeon Update #1
The pigeons are all going well. I have 2 blue bar...
