Go for it! They help keep me going during these mad times. It’s always a joy to watch the fly and spin on a lovely summers day.

@@doublearollers i would love to but have too many dogs at the min

I’m looking to change my breeding loft to something a little bit bigger soon. Ideally I’d want 12 breeding boxes so I’m working on something at the moment 😉

@@doublearollers That's great, nice project.

@@doublearollers Sounds good! Ideally you would have 24 youngsters of the same age to train together from their own kitbox. Suggest 'Natural Vitamineral' for the breeders for improved productivity, and fewer losses if you let them out on their own to get their bearings and to train them before they can fly. Best wishes.

42gentian thank you for the advice. Unfortunately I started breeding late in the season so my young birds came in bits rather than all around the same time. Makes training them a little harder but next year should be better 🤞

@@doublearollers ...that's 'ideally', but it could take many years to accumulate several pairs of first class rollers. You might feel it is better to try one good pair, if they are obtainable, than several pairs related to first class birds

boro7059 thanks for your comment mate. Yes I’ve only just started to keep them however most the birds I have now have come directly from reputable flyers like George Mason for example. I still have some that I’m unsure of but I’m guessing it takes time to get them all right. I’ll be joining some flys soon too hopefully and then try to get some more. All the best to you.

Thanks bro! Thankfully, it returned a few hours after recording this video. I’m back to 4 young birds.

I do get them occasionally but I wouldn’t breed off them.

For the entertainment that they give you whilst you are watching them fly. If you’ve got an interest in pigeons then perhaps watch a kit of roller pigeons perform and you’ll understand.

Where are you from?

Where are you from?

Danny Conner, thanks for your comment Danny. I haven’t got a clue how to send them to the USA.

I don’t have a clue but I would bye everything you got to sale

Can you find out how to send to USA

Where are you from?

Hi Rob, I don’t have his number unfortunately. Best way to get in touch with him is through Facebook or Messenger.

Cool cheers bud

hello double a if you have orange eye birds they are not pure my stuff .looks like you are starting with a mixed bag of birds of dubious ancestry.who did you get your ( Birkett ) birds from not me . unless you get the birds direct from the named fancier it's very hard to be sure if they have been kept pure .lots of lads breed open loft with different families in the loft and as sure as eggs are eggs infadelity will take place .Any records kept thereafter are pure guesswork and can ruin any breeding plans you might have becouse you may not know the true sire of your young birds .I can see that you are using close box system .but can you guarantee the person you had your birds from did the same. ???.once you have a close bred family that you are happy with (years from now )unless you obtain them from a successful fancier who you can trust open loft may be an option .In my opinion keeping and breeding from different strains even if you could gaurentee there pedigree could be a recipe for disaster .Ask some of your roller mates like George mason He knows his stuff .If he was starting again would he start with birds off all different families.see what he says george will likely tell you what he thinks. These are only my opinions the birds . ex

Hi Rob, yes you’re better of joining the All England Roller Club. You’ll need to speak to David Start. I’ll get his number shortly and leave it here in a comment.

I’ve spoken to him but he’s not comfortable giving his number out to someone he doesn’t know 🧐 instead he’s asked for your address so he can post you a form out.

Got it and sent over to him. All the best my friend 👍🏼

Many Thanks. Have a good flying season n I look forward to ya next video n maybe you might be filming my rollers one day but with only 4 birds it might be a while yet lol. :)
