Turn this old coop into a pigeon loft

[albert w]

I just bought the adjoining property and this old coop is on it. I'm in the process of dismantling it and moving it to our back yard. The plan is to fill it with pigeons. I have duneks and Ukrainian skycutters in a smaller loft.
The question is: how would you remodel? I'm trying to get by cheaply, as always, so there won't be any mail-order nest boxes etc. right away.
The coop hasn't had birds in it for at least 10 years. It's 12x12 with a solid wood floor. The front is about 7' tall and the back wall is about 4'tall. The low clearance at the back and the location of the door make this a bit inconvenient for a loft.
It definitely needs more ventilation. The floor and walls are in great shape and it will get a new roof.
I have an idea of what I'd like to do but would love to hear other ideas before I commit to anything.
Thanks for reading!

i would make three small sections, cocks, hens and young birds, each with an outside flight, you could use the hen/cock sections as breeding sections during the breeding season

how would you manage with just three sections? when you have the breeders in the cock/hen section where will the cocks or hens be? Unless you could have three sections, breeders, cocks and young birds. The birds you breed from your breeder pen go into the young bird pen, when the birds in the young bird pen mature then you move the cocks and leave the hens in with the young birds. Will that work? Or you could just divide the loft in to four sections and have less birds....

the cocks and hens will be breeding

, when breeding season is over then you separate, then you have your cock and hen sections back

unless you have extra cocks and hens that you wont have breeding........then what? your assuming every thing to be perfect. Pigeons don't always work that way.
