My summer project was to build a pigeon house, after a couple of weeks of work it is finally done and my chicks are in hoping they will home in on my location. Should be able to start working with them in a couple of weeks. I have attached a few photos.

ok, cool, i've been looking at several plans on the intraweb, but haven't settled on any yet...I'd love to get a few quail for here in S. Louisiana, but i believe the exact quote from my wife was "I'm not taking care of another living creature" considering the two kids, two cats, and the dog, i really don't blame her, HAHA!

My plans are from a 1986 sports afield article you would like a copy let me know. I also have plans for a Johnny house for quail, haven't built that yet. Will I have one teenager, four hunting dogs (2 retired) and now 6 pigeons......my wife actually like watching the pigeons and is all in on them. The cost of the loft I built was between 250-300.
 
Looks real nice Tom. Should keep the birds happy and the critters at bay! Do you have closures or blocks for the returns? Have to think coon and snake there. Some guys also have trouble with sharpshins and coopers hawks as well.
 
Thanks Troy, yes I can lock the bobs down to keep critters out. So far I have not had any issue with critters not to many in my area other than porkies. Hadn't thought about snakes but I don't get to many in my yard. Have had only one close call with a hawk and have not seen it since the first time, probably just jinxed myself. Only have 6 birds and they are strong fliers and good homers.
