1.) How many Birmingham rollers do you have overall?
2.) How much space to keep for them? (how big is your loft/kit?)
Thanks,
Andrew

57 in the loft.26 of them will never come out to fly again. 16 of them are 08 banded. the other 15 are 06 and 07 birds that I locked down so I cant fly them right now. most of these young birds are paired up for "EXPERIMENTAL" breeding. I like to give a few birds a trial shot in the loft. these will be flown again this spring.If they hold up to a trial run in the loft and anouther year in the air, next year they might get lofted permanent.
14 are in the kitbox now and still flying all winter.
My main loft is 7ft x 20 ft. 5 kitboxs. 2nd loft is 8ft X 10ft . Avery is 8ft x 20ft x 6ft high, divided in 3 sections this year
