due to garden space iv had to get a loft 8 foot by 6 foot how best will it be to get a breeding section and kit boxes inside.i was thinking of putting 3 kit boxes 4ft wide 4ft long and 2ft high and having the other 4ft for breeding section.

I would reccomend only going three feet deep. Especially if you are going only two feet high. Four feet is a stretch. If you build them back to back then they will take up six feet and you can have four kit boxes or use one for single mating pens. It will aslo save on materials.

I have done this for the majority of my cerrer in rollers... depending on the space and what you are doing with the kit birds.. 3X3X3 for the kit boxes... rember the smaller the box more you have to workum... it isn't really good for long time storge, of the kit birds.. then depending on the breeders if it is a tight family and you arent a pedegree person then you will have alot more lead way.. 5X6X5 will work good ror six paird or so ... just put all the boxes on the back and letum go to town.. small but effective... I really was fortunate in the lack of space in the past,, as it has made me only hold the birds that I needed... made me become more of a pigeon breeder than a pigeon keeper.... after a few years you will see the diffrince in your flock... and when you get the space to breed 4 kit's or so, WOW watch out for you as you would have been forced to keep the best of the best based on the space thing... It's worth it... from my experince.... Good Luck
