Site has been down but should be ok now, not sure if Chris has looked at other issues yet but he is aware of them
Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud :D :D

Thanks gents. I have gone from an old brick shed with tiny little windows to this so hoping for a bit of success this coming season.
You may remember I asked about a street light but I am reasonably happy about the balance of light in there considering its North facing and built under a load of conifers
You may also remember that I said it had to be a compromise but it meant I could carry on with the birds, so I am happy about that too.
I'll get some photos of the inside in the next few days Devo and would appreciate your honest opinions on anythings that you think could be improved.

Thanks Neil and Andy, thats something I didn't think of.
I do rather like the openess of the dowels and to be honest, the birds do look in better nic but perhaps thats just their new suits.
The brick shed was always a little damp so I used to use a deep litter of wood chips but in this new loft I am enjoying scraping them out daily. It is sometimes a little damp with the dowels but I am brushing a little lime around on those days which is working very well.
I was going to use one of the small sections on left ( there are 2) for roundabout hens and I realise I will have to put some sort of blinds up if this is going to work.
