Yes. It went for £490.i don't think that was much really. It was only a couple of years old and had a breeder/widowhood setup inside. Its just a bit too close to Christmas now. I may get one from santa!

It is 12'x6' and six month old. So newer than I thought. There is quite a few on ebay but most are over a grand. I keep thinking I should have got it and stored it.

I just made the conversion to dollars, $616.00. I think that's a steal!

Yeah! Most of the other ones are these 'prefab' lofts. Cost alot of money but won't last long. I'm keeping my eye open at the moment so if anything else comes up I'll go for it.

@WVduckchick has your squabs feathers start 'blooming' yet? I like to watch day by day how they open more and more. What was its name again?

No I haven’t noticed. Where do they start first? I’m going to try to take pics daily, or at least every other day. I’ve been gone all day today for a funeral.
Bugsy is the name, so far.
We’ll see if it sticks.

Can pigeons get angel wing? I noticed one of the wings on the baby kinda sticking out.

IDK, Can you get a photo? I think I remember noticing the pins for the primary flights seemed to come in at an odd angle at first on some...but grew into place just fine. Is it a small curl at the tip of the wing that you are seeing?

Never say never, but I raised a lot of squabs and never had one with angel wing.
