So you decided to get in the exciting world of pigeons. The only question that remains is should you build your own pigeon coop or purchase one? There are pro and cons to both options. If you are anything like me you want to make the right decision. In this article we will discuss both options to narrow down your choices to just one.
Pro's for building your own:
1) By far this option allows your personal style to shine through. You are able to start small and build as you expand your pigeon basis. 2) Your initial cost of building is not fixed at one price point. You can begin building your pigeon coop on a shoe string budget which may be beneficial if you are just starting out. 3) The satisfaction of knowing you did the job yourself. 4) Add on features are easily made and interchangeable as you upgrade to increasing your pigeon loft. 5) Your design for your pigeon coop can reflect many features including many separate rooms and different holding features as you expand into the exciting sport of pigeon racing.
Cons for building your own:
1) Time intensive as you have to meet state guidelines in designing your pigeon coop. 2) Building process may be cumbersome and problematic especially if you live in a community with a home owners association. 3) Can be expensive if you decide to move from hobby of pigeon care to breeding for racing pigeons.
Pros for purchasing:
1) No long start up process you can to begin to enjoy taking care and nurturing your pigeons almost immediately. 2) Most pigeon coops are designed with state guidelines already built into the building structure. 3) One set price for an attractive looking home for your pigeons. 4) Easy to transition to moving into the position of racing and breeding as you can purchase a pigeon dwelling with this in mind initially.
Cons for purchasing:
1) The lost of satisfaction that comes with not building it with your own two hands. 2) Limited to the pre made designs which may not be as stylish as you may have envisioned. 3) Set costs can be a bit out of your price range. 4) Prices may not be suitable or even worth it if you are unsure that this is going to be a long time venture. 5) Add on features may not be possible since design is made one dimensional and set to conceived design restraints.
