Finally I got my coop finished.
The birds seem to love it. Just going to make some wire bob trap for the small door.
Once they are settled in I will add about 6 nest boxes by hanging them on the outside on the left side (similar to the chicken nesting boxes you see on outside of chicken coops).
Frustrating I can't get any pigeon equipment in my country. Struggling to find good things to make the perches. I want to add another row of 3 on the back.
How many birds could I fit in here?
They will be free to fly in and out at will most days and use the coop to roost in and breed.
Having a slight problem with the dominant cock bird picking on one other bird... he won't let it perch or rest anywhere apart from hanging on the wire. Will they sort out a pecking order, because they only in there for 2 days now.

have you got sides for it though? I'm just thinking if the weather gets really bad (like sidewards rain!) then they will have some cover. For perches I use the wooden v shaped ones. I bought them for about £1.50 each. I could have made some but for that price it was hardly worth the bother!
