1. How to keep the loft warm and ventilated in winter
If you want to keep the loft warm and ventilated in winter, you must not completely seal the loft. If the pigeon lofts are completely sealed in order to keep warm, it will cause them to lack fresh air, and their appetite and vitality will be reduced. Generally speaking, the pigeon lofts are designed in a direction facing south, so in winter, you only need to surround the three positions on the north side, so that you can well block the biting northwest cold wind in winter. It is necessary to leave a sunny side, which can not only help them receive light and bask in the sun, but also provide good ventilation.
2. Do pigeons reproduce in winter?
Pigeons do not reproduce in winter, they will not reproduce and lay eggs in an environment where the temperature is too high or too low. But if they can be moved indoors and the room temperature is kept above 20 degrees, they will still reproduce in winter. The main limiting factor for their reproduction is temperature. After solving the temperature problem, they can reproduce all year round. Their breeding cycle is about one month, and they can generally hatch eight or nine broods of young pigeons a year. When breeding, it is necessary to ensure that their living environment is comfortable and the room temperature must be maintained, otherwise it is very likely that the pigeon eggs will not be able to hatch smoothly.
