333_okh,

Interesting hoop design s98  Is this a movable structure,or is this in a fixed location??

Another question, since I am not familiar with the RJF. Do these birds take flight when spook? If so, since the hard Wire(chicken wire) is a wrap around, what are the chances of your birds either breaking their necks, or getting their head and neck caught and hanging them selves?

They can be jumpy. There is some chance, but I am hoping the open nature ofhte pen helps.  Otherwise, survival of the non-jumpers it will be.  The majority of these guys will only be in this movable pen a few more months and then off to a remote location.

Thanks for the feed back! How is this hoop pen moved to different locations?

2-3 men dragging.  I can do it by myself, but it is over 300 pounds.

A place called the Global Pigeon Supply Co [Savanna Georgia].  They are cheap and the birds use them well without a lot of waste.

http://www.globalpigeon.com/gps.php?action=showprod&id=26

I am really finding that I like them.  The little ones have granite grit in them and the larger ones have food.  The white topped ones are for water, but have a removable seal to use as a feeder.  They are all listed as waterers.

Just a couple more pictures of the growing birds.  There are 29 high percentage RJF with three that are 3/4 bred birds.  The 3 birds are seperate for now.  I will be reducing my flock to a total of 3 roosters and 9 hens, but I will keep the 3 3/4 birds for a while as an experiment.

P.S. there are a couple of other pics for your viewing also. Black-tailed deer and Rio Grande wild turkey

Great thread !

333 I really like your hoop house, I'd also go with the 1", maybe netting over the 2" ?

I'm in Northeast MI, MANY predators here, winged and four legged so I need a hot wire, it works, from black bears to owls.

At the moment no birds but changing that soon, and for sure next year, had health problems, thats another long story.

But pens are vacant. I've been thinking of RJF, I've liked them for some time.

What are the dimenssions on your hoop house?  This ought to go into the do it yourself section, really nice plan.

  Well, that answers my question.  Was wondering about where you had been, a while back.  Someone had a question, I figured you'd know about.
