Dog Health Questions: How to build a pigeon hutch?

I want to build a bird hutch for keeping pigeons for dog training. Can anyone refer me to a site with some free plans, or explain the best way to build a hutch (as in expensive and easy as possible)? I want to build something small, as i will not be housing more than 6-12 birds at a time.

Proven Dog Training Methods

Recommended Answer:
Step 1Build holding pens that are 2 feet high and 3 square feet. Each of these pens will hold 15 birds comfortably. If you have more birds, build another pen and stack it on the first one. These pens can be situated on legs at any height.

Step 2Make the floor of your pens out of 1/2 foot of plastic wire mesh. The sides of the cage should be made from 2 by 4 wire fencing.

Step 3Add perch boxes 2 rows high. Also nail 2 by 4's end to end in the shape of an "I" to the floor. This gives the pigeons a place to perch and sleep at night.

Step 4Place a piece of cardboard and a plastic slip sheet in between the stacked pens. This will allow you to clean the area without hassle. Once a month, simply pull the slip sheet out and dump it into an empty feed back. Wash it or scrape gently and your cleaning is done.

Step 5Use a pressure washer to clean the cages. Make sure the pigeons have been moved to another cage while you wash them. You could severely injure your birds if you do not remove them from the cages prior to washing.

Step 6Consider the great features of your pen. By housing them in this manner, they are always outside. This is perfect for their health because they get constant sunlight and fresh air. This set-up also allows for easy bathing of the birds. Once a week, you can simply spray the birds down with the water hose and cleaning is complete.
