Another view from the corner. The loft faces the east so the young birds can see the sun rise. By now there is a sputnik over the window on the far left, where the birds trap into the aisle and then into the open door of the young bird loft, and on race day the electronic clocking pad sits on the window sill as they enter.
This shows hens and
late hatch youngsters in what will double as a weaning loft and possibly as
a place to keep the widowhood hens if we do decide to try widowhood this year.
The white vinyl lattice allows us to feed by placing feeders outside the loft
and letting the birds feed through the holes.
Here you see the expanded metal grates that the birds walk on. This works out great in any loft you may have.
