A while back I had a half dozen chickens but my entire flock got whipped out by a raccoon one night because I forgot to close the door.
So a few weeks ago I re-purposed it into a pigeon house and made up this little trap door for them out of crap I had laying around. It's kind of ghetto but I have 10 pigeons and they don't seem to mind. I started out with 12 and kept them all confined for almost a month and yesterday let them fly for the first time. Right off the bat three flew off to never never land, one was waiting early this morning outside and the other two appear to be gone.
It's kind of cool to sit and watch them zip around the yard and my pup is going crazy chasing them around. Even my wife thought it was kind of cool.
