Rudy. the first is an 05 hen from my family. based on a cock from Dick Stevens.
the second is a jaconette cock.
the third is an 06 hen from my family
the forth is a jaconette hen
and the last is a black mottle cock cross between my family on the cock side and a jaconette hen
Thanks Rudy... I think I`m a better builder than a pigeon breeder, but I`m working on it...

Hey rudy and the gang. I have been to Jim Sherwoods house. Some of the best rollers I`ve seen. And a very nice guy too.
Kelly, Thanks. Like I said I`m a better builder that a pigeon breeder, but I`m working on that, and I`ll get it eventually, My wife has told me I could move in the loft too ,sometimes.
Ron, I`m in northern Indiana. Close to some small time college with a football team called Notre Dame or something like that. LOL
And Paul, she`s not a true fireball, but when she was in the kit she lit up the sky more than her share. Not the deepest roll, but frequent and fast, 15 to 25 feet average. occasionally when up high enough she went deeper but my birds dont go that high very often.
Last but not least, my `ol buddy Tapp. Thanks for everything. I was gonna call last week to have you help me figure out posting pictures but I pecked and banged away at it till I figured it out. Like every thing else I do . sometimes to darn stubborn to ask for help. LOL
But you can call anyways. Laters

Sundance very nice rollers needless to say your loft. Sundance can you elaborate on your loft set-up.
1. How many partitions and dimensions?
2. Which way Does your loft entrance face?
3. Do you also have fly Pens attached to your loft?
Thanks in advance R.Fuentes.

Butch,
Very nice setup you have there. I like the way it is laid out and believe that it would even look allot better in real. Pictures sometimes don't show the magnificence of the loft.
I met you when you came down to Canton, Ohio for the Canton Roller fly. If you don’t remember me, I am the one who was driving the black Convertible Benz.

Jay I do remember you. Thats a sweeeeet ride you got !!!
And I saw your setup a couple weeks ago in here. Also a great looking setup. When I seen the porch on it I told the wife that heres anouther guy who gets scolded for tracking dirt and who knows what in from the loft. I put mine on last year and It really helps. Good to hear from ya, and I`ll probably see ya again. Somewhere....

Thanks Nick !!! I appreciate that.
R. Fuentes, I`ll post a couple more shots tonight.
Basically the loft is 7 feet wide by 20 feet long.
The roof slopes from 7 feet high at the back to 6 feet at the front.
The interior is divided into 3 spaces. The center space is mine, feed, a meds. and misc. cabinet. A small work bench,and a Trash can. This space is 7 feet deep by 5 feet wide.
Both end spaces measure about 7 feet by 7 feet. These function as breeder spaces and accomodate having 2 families. In the winter, I put the cocks in one side and the hens in the other. All my breeder boxs are set up as individual, but they can be opened up if desired. I have a different box set up in the left side of the loft than the boxs I posted before. I think those are a little too small. I`ll post pics of the other boxs later too.
The loft faces north, because the wind in the winter generally comes from the south and, I can watch everything from my computer desk if I need to.
And yes, I do have an attached fly pen. It is the size of the loft, and is split in the middle, for each breeder pen. These birds get plenty of fresh air and exercise when in the breeder loft. Each section is 8 by 10 and 7 feet high. I use a small pee gravel bottom in the fly pen and concrete bird baths.
