We house very few pigeons in our small back garden lofts, with the small loft on the right used solely to house each seasons few young birds. We only house/breed 8 to 10 young birds each year and this 2011 season we only lost one off the loft and one racing.   The furthermost loft is our four compartment racing loft housing our 14 pairs of racers.   Both cocks and hens are raced using our own roundabout system in sprint, middle and long distance races and all are expected to race both North Road and South Road races.
