How to do the pigeon loft and how to build a pigeon shed

A must for a good pigeon loft.

The most important thing in the loft is the sun, the light and the air. Regardless of whether a loft is located in a temperate or tropical climate and what type of loft it is, it is important that it is absolutely dry, that it is well ventilated, and that it does not change drastically in the indoor temperature.

If the best pigeons don't perform well in racing, a lot of the reasons are often due to the loft. Not all pigeon breeders are able to build their own lofts in the desired location as they wish, so we have to do our best.

We should think about the loft. If we can't find a solution right away, we can take a look at the lofts of our neighbours, listen to the advice of our predecessors, and learn some experience, which can always give us some more knowledge. Not everyone is able to build their loft in a sheltered direction.

However, this is absolutely necessary for pigeon breeders in areas with variable climates.

The loft I built in Mireen was oriented north, so I had to put an extra barrier outside the entrance and exit of the loft to avoid the wind chill when the pigeons came in and out. At the same time, there is no direct wind in the loft and no strong drafts. The morning sun did not shine on the loft, but on the south side of the roof, I placed glass tiles.

The north wall is colder, I didn't have a nest box placed, and there was a cold barrier inside the wall. After this treatment, this pigeon loft can be regarded as a healthy and comfortable home for pigeons.

However, I didn't solve the problem in a day. First, I had to take a while to measure the temperature at different times of the day, and at different times of the year. My loft is cool and dry.

There is a layer of barbed wire on the ceiling, and in the winter I add a layer of cardboard on top of the barbed wire to block the cold air from outside. It's not ideal, but it's okay. I try to take advantage of the benefits of this loft as much as possible.

I even arranged for my house and the neighbors' chimneys to pass through my pigeon loft. You know, these chimneys really help me to keep the cold out and keep the loft dry.

Make a movable door, the pigeon can not get out when it comes in, open the door when it is released, and the pigeon can come and go freely.

You should find a better material introduced by Pigeon Peng and take a look. There are many and important issues in this area.

How to build a pigeon shed:

Tools: greenhouses, pigeons.

1. First of all, we must choose a good location, where the light and ventilation are better, a complete pigeon loft is composed of a drying shed and an inner shed.

2. The direction of the pigeon loft is best to face south, so that the pigeons will not breed bacteria, which is conducive to the health of the pigeons.

3. The types of pigeon sheds can be roughly divided into two types, landing sheds and off-ground sheds, depending on the situation.

4. There are a variety of materials to choose from for the construction of pigeon sheds, such as bricks, steel bars or steel wire mesh, etc.

5. Such a simple pigeon shed is preliminarily completed, of course, there are other jumping door installations, nest box production, and rest rack installation, which can be based on personal preferences.

Pigeon presentation

Pigeons, taxonomic, belong to the class Ornithischia, the order Pigeonformes, the dove family, the genus Pigeon. All the varieties of domestic pigeons originated from wild cliff pigeons, wild cliff pigeons, also known as original pigeons, commonly known as wild pigeons, distributed in coastal areas, inhabited between rocky cliffs, nesting and breeding, like to drink seawater, like to live in groups.

Pigeons are the first birds to be domesticated, and more than 5,000 years ago, wild pigeons were domesticated as domestic pigeons in Egypt, and later fishermen used pigeons to communicate with the land at sea. After the pigeon was domesticated, pigeon breeding gradually became popular in all countries of the world, and pigeon breeding in China has a history of more than 2,000 years. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, both the court and the people were keen to raise all kinds of pigeons.

Here's how to build a pigeon loft:

1. Choose the right site

Pigeon breeding on the site does not have special requirements for Duan Jing, the pigeon farm should be located to meet the basic conditions of the farm, the terrain is flat, drainage, sunny, the site is open, conducive to ventilation. The soil should be hard and permeable, so that the rainwater can be discharged in time to prevent the formation of cement accumulation, and it is convenient for vehicles and personnel to enter and exit.

2. Do a good job in overall planning and design

The arrangement of the greenhouse should be combined with the production process and epidemic prevention requirements, so the overall planning and design and layout should be done before construction, and the direction of the greenhouse should be taken at an angle of 30 ° 60 ° with the perennial dominant wind direction, and the spacing between the greenhouse and the greenhouse is generally 3 5 times the height of the eaves.

The overall length of a single greenhouse is recommended to be between 40m and 70m, which is not conducive to the operation and management of breeders. The width is about 5m 12m, too wide it will affect the ventilation and affect the normal production of the pigeons in the middle. The arch frame should be held at a distance of about 3m between mu.

The top of the greenhouse is about about the height from the ground, and the height of the eaves is about about the ground, which is relatively suitable for mechanized operation in space.

3. Deal with the details

The construction of pigeon breeding greenhouses should pay attention to the details, and the two sides of the pigeon loft breeding greenhouses should be built with a low wall of about 60 cm to prevent the invasion of external cats, rats, snakes and rainwater. In addition, in order to ensure the effect of sun protection and heat preservation of the greenhouse, the special film used to cover the top of the greenhouse is recommended to be checked regularly and replaced in time.

1. Choose a place: choose a place with good ventilation and leeward to ensure that there is sunlight. 2. Construction method:

It is rectangular in shape and is fixed with planks and wires. 3. Feeding management: feed wheat, corn, sorghum and other miscellaneous grains, and feed them regularly and at fixed points every day.

4. Cleaning pigeons: cleaning once a day.

1. Choose a place

When breeding pigeons, you can build a pigeon loft on higher ground, leeward and sunny and well-ventilated places, to ensure that there is enough light, and must be close to the water source, so that the pigeons can drink water, so as not to appear thirsty.

2. Construction method:

When building a pigeon loft, the area should be controlled within 15 square meters, the shape of the rectangle, able to accommodate 30 pairs of pigeons, and then fixed with wooden boards and wires, and the installation of iron mesh windows to exhaust the harmful gases in the shed, in addition to the pigeon loft to place a square cage.

3. Feeding management

Pigeons like to eat grains, mainly wheat, corn, sorghum, peanuts, sesame, mung beans, buckwheat, etc., every day to be fed regularly and fixedly, and can be added to the feed, ginger juice, so that the pigeon better digestion.

4. Clean the loft

The pigeons are suitable for living in a clean and tidy environment, during the breeding process, the loft is cleaned every night, the droppings and fallen feathers are cleaned up, and in the spring and autumn, the pigeons are allowed to bathe 2-3 times a week.

What kind of living environment do pigeons want? It seems to be no different from our humans, cool, dry and airy. In the case of unfavorable natural conditions, it is what we should do to create a comfortable living environment for the pigeons with the materials of the current Xiaodan Bridge, and it is also the first material guarantee of this sport.

The basic requirements of the loft (in the south): protection against rain, ventilation, heat insulation, drying, protection from strong light radiation, protection against insects, protection from small animals (protection against people is not discussed).

Construction materials: Based on the requirements of moisture-proof, red brick and shirt wood are the ideal materials for construction.

Structural type: brick and wood, rigid wood, wood structure, the above three types should be overhead.

The roof should be triangular as the first choice, no matter what kind of surface material is used, the interior should be added with a 20-thick polystyrene board insulation layer and a wooden lookout board, and the cornice can be made longer.

The wall is preferred, and the ventilation grille or shutter should be opened all around, the key is to open up and down, under the high temperature and less wind, the heat rises, and if the upper part of the wall does not open the ventilation grille, the heat will be hindered.

The partition wall of the inner shed is made of wood grille to facilitate ventilation. All open parts should be set up with double-layer screens, the outside is a fine gauze to prevent mosquitoes, the inside is 20 * 20 galvanized wire mesh to prevent all kinds of animals, and the pigeon homing entrance should also be equipped with a mosquito net, closed at night.

The floor is made of wooden strip grilles. The periphery of the overhead layer is provided with a double-layer gauze, and the interior is provided with a wooden inclined board. The interior wall is treated with a fire surface, and after completion, it is applied with "Struggle Sodium" (a mosquito-killing poison, harmless to pigeons), and then once a month.

The exterior wall adopts light-colored water-based anti-radiation exterior wall paint, which can effectively reduce the influence of radiation late dust heat on the wall surface and effectively reduce the temperature of the wall panel.

The construction of the loft in the above way does not add too much cost, but the use of some natural principles, some details are processed, I believe that unexpected results will be achieved.

Materials required: pigeons, houses.

The steps are as follows: 1. In the countryside, the dry hut of the simple letter and Kai is used as the home of the pigeons. Generally in the countryside, it is very common to build a pigeon loft, find a house of good quality, modify and build a pigeon loft, and find a drier hut to use as a pigeon's nest.

2. Create a nest for pigeons, and the outside layout is facing the sun, which is convenient for basking in the sun. In the direction of construction, people generally choose the place where the exit is facing the sun, which brings convenience to the life of the pigeons. Always open the doors and windows of the loft and let the pigeon fly, so that it can fly and grow more dressed.

3. The quality of the pigeon loft is safe and secure. When choosing a house, you must remember to find the best house, safe and secure, without any worries, in case it collapses one day, it will be worth the loss. Be sure to choose a good house, so that you can rest assured.

4. In the city, a room is specially built for pigeons. In the city, there may not be a place for pigeons to live, but a house designed specifically for pigeons can be built. You can use a relatively small house to keep pigeons, and if you can let the pigeons out, that's fine.

5. The layout of the pigeon loft is simple and comfortable, and the environment is quiet. The layout is very important, and you must remember to give the pigeons plenty of food and water to ensure that they are well supplied. In addition, the environment of the pigeons must be better, because they are also animals and have life.

The loft is easy and comfortable to build, and it doesn't have to be a hassle.

6. The loft is facing the sun, improving the air and humidity in the loft. The most important thing to pay attention to is that the hygiene of the pigeon loft must be strictly paid attention to in the summer, and the pigeon droppings must be cleaned up in time, and a sewer can also be placed under the construction to facilitate the waste to be washed away.

7. When building a pigeon loft, don't forget to leave a place for the pigeons to rest. The pigeon is a free-flying bird, and when it is built, it is also necessary to think about where the pigeon rests, you can make a railing so that they can rest, or get a useless wire, which can be pulled from one end to the other for easy docking.

When building a pigeon loft reasonably, you need to choose the address in a place where the leeward sun is on high ground, and to ensure the ventilation of the pigeon loft, you can use iron mesh windows, etc., to avoid pigeons from contracting diseases, and the pigeon loft can be placed in a separate square cage, when feeding the pigeons, you need to provide them with wheat, sorghum, mung beans and other food.

1. Build a pigeon loft

When breeding pigeons, you can build a pigeon shed in a higher terrain and leeward place to ensure that the light in the pigeon shed is sufficient, so as not to infect the pigeon with disease, and to install iron mesh windows in the pigeon shed, so that the indoor air circulates naturally, and the ammonia and other harmful gases in the pigeon shed are discharged, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the pigeon.

2. Feeding methods

When building a pigeon shed, it is necessary to avoid cats, snakes, rats and other animals from breaking into the large basin, and the area of the pigeon shed should be within 8-10 square meters, which can breed about 30 pairs of pigeons, and place separate square cages in the pigeon shed, and the square cages can be stacked together to raise pigeons.

3. Feeding management

Pigeons mainly feed on miscellaneous grains, when breeding pigeons, you need to feed them wheat, corn, peas, sorghum, peanuts, sesame, mung beans, buckwheat and other foods to meet the nutritional needs of pigeons, and when feeding pigeons, it is best to choose two kinds of mixed grains to avoid anorexia of pigeons.

4. Clean the loft

The pigeons like to live in a clean environment, when breeding pigeons, they need to clean the loft every night to remove droppings and fallen feathers, and in the summer and autumn they need to be bathed twice a week, and in the winter they need to be bathed once a week.
