    Am already a fan of wooden cage vs metal cages. Good job Mike....Sweat and time paid off. Roofing idea was a clever one too.

      Thanks Mark, I will be getting a bunch of 300 mile young ones about the middle of april. So am very excited about that. I have been watching your updates and enjoy your videos and birds very much.

    Looks great. Thanks for sharing.love the sliding door. I'll be starting a build this weekend. Hope it turns out as good as yours.

      Thanks for the vote of confidence. I know a lot about building but have a lot to learn about pigeons. So far it has been a great learning experience, I wouldn't trade it for the world.

    I think you're right. I find they like it in the shadows. I think you made a good call not placing windows in your loft, they have enough light.

    Question concerning your wire floor, wouldn't feed get through attracting rodents and then things to eat the rodents?

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      So far I haven’t had any of those problems. And the holes in the wire are too small for even a small mouse to get through. There haven’t been any signs of mouse activity yet. Believe me I understand completely why are you ask.

  • @shanesmith3091
    @shanesmith3091 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice job Mike. Where did you get the breeding rack from? What is the Brand name, and cost? I am in Australia so they may not be available here. I was going to build one with grating floor and trays under, but if i can buy one it may be easier. Is there anything you don't like about it?

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Shane, Sorry I didn't see your comment earlier. I got the breeding rack from a breeder that was getting out of pigeons but I have seen them at pigeon supply shops for around $350. For me that seems to much and I would probably make my own. I don't like the amount of space the birds have but it is also the beauty of it because it saves room at 6' H x 2' x 4'W. I think they come from asia because I saw them in some Japanese videos www.foyspigeonsupplies.com/breeder-units/1600-four-level-breeder-unit

    Rockie can you please tell me what is the name of the red brick the you given to the bird and brought it at tractor supply?

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure, it’s called producers pride trace mineral salt brick. There are a few different types I think they are all good. This one is for cows goats and horses. I crunch it up with a hammer it breaks up easily into a powder and offer it to them in a separate container. It does pick up moisture because there is salt in it so you have to put a new batch maybe once a week. Good luck.

    What is the easiest way to make a sliding door if I don’t have a table saw?

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a hard question to answer because I don’t know what materials you have and what tools you have. I wish I could help but I wouldn’t know where to start explaining because I don’t know your situation. Best of luck

    • @syedammarrizvi4516
      @syedammarrizvi4516 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rocky Ridge Kennel & Loft thx. Material is not a problem. I have a circular saw and just bought a mitre saw (still I box) You had mentioned something called a “dido?” Cut. How did you make the tracks? Simply 2x4

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Syed Abbas Haider Rizvi oh OK it’s called a dado Which are stacked up blades you put on a table saw to remove a wide groove in the wood with one pass. I think it’s spelled DADO. And they make them for circular saw‘s but usually people put them on a table saw. Do a quick Google search for dado blades.

    What gauge of wire is that?

    • @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons
      @Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The floor is 13 gauge expanded metal and the wall is a nylon screen. I think it was called deer fence used to keep deer out of peoples gardens and things like that.
