----------Joe Bell and Ken Walters in front of my loft. Day was windy and I scored 70 pts. Ken done a great job scoring, after going over 2 barbed wire fences to keep track of them in the wind and losing them behind some trees.![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/fallfly2007001.jpg) Butch @ Sundance Roller Lofts

![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/loft2007001.jpg) individual breeder pen. theres 6 in each side of the loft
![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/08breeders010.jpg) my original setup for individual pens. too small. will change to the bigger style like in the other pic.
![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/birdohio155.jpg) 3 individual pens. 4 feet wide, 18 inches deep, 20 inches high
![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/08breeders004.jpg) outside in fly pen. bath time. hey Tapp, do you recognise those red hens on the ground? Hendersons maybe?

![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/loft2007011.jpg) feeder mounted in the door so I dont have to go in the loft space more than necessary.
![Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket](http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff245/butch-420/loft2007003.jpg) view of feeder from outside the breeding area. wooden lid just lifts off.

Rudy , the feeder is only 2.5 inches deep, 6 inches high and 20 inches long. I wanted to make sure none of the feed was out of reach and sat in there too long. Its mounted with 2 screws and every week I pull it out and any feed in it I dump out for the chickens.
Tapp, that is a good looking bird too. Why do we lose so many good ones? If it aint the BOPs ,its something else.. ---------- Butch @ Sundance Roller Lofts

Hey Rudy... How are those feeders working out for you? I like it because the feed always stays clean. I dont ever have to clean the inside of them ---------- Butch @ Sundance Roller Lofts
