Houseing in city

[Peckar]

Hello there I would like to find out about pigeon housing I am moving to a more urban place that dont allow my chickens so please help

you could have a 2 section kit box with 40 birds in it if you want to go smaller you can have a smaller kit box with one section or have a loft which is like a kit but more like a shed then you could race out of it or keep pigeons for the sake of it or you could also fly rollers and tumblers

I have pigeons and chickens in town and I just built a loft for my pigeons. 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall. I have 18 pigeons at the moment, but it could hold much more. The first cage I kept pigeons in was 2 small rabbit cages. I still use them when I want to separate the cocks from hens. If you are going to have a small flock then a rabbit cage would do fine.

how many could it hold ???

how many could it hold ??? One pigeon for every 2 square feet of floor space is a good rule of thumb in my opinion.

what about height ?

 

[Hokum Coco]

what about height ? When height is a factor I would say 10ft³ per bird is another good rule of thumb.

Okay do you need to give them exercise or any extra activities like that

 

[aarontheman]

well if there show pigeons not really but for the likes of tumblers rollers and racers its better to loft fly them
