Good day I love your plan as a beginner I will definately give it a dumps up and try it I build my pigeon loft from pellet wood and made my nesting boxes of milk trays but will give it a go wit your plan.❤
How are you going to get an entire kit in all their boxes and close them all in? Each bird is going to stand patiently until every box has a bird then you close it all at once?
I always thought or maybe my opinion it's a dominance thing for the cock to mark his territory as if to show the female he's worthy and she safe with em (so to speak)
Hi, your rollers are really actively consistent, and kitting is really great in all your videos. You have any your planing to let go so i can breed for next year, not planing to fly them, just going to breed through the fall & winter for next year. I saw your red on the NBRC aution, im going to see if i can win the bid for it. There's alot of bird for bid, but i dont really know how others roller fly or kit style.
In the summer is ideal and good parents can rear 3 babies. I have a pair that produced triplets last summer. They were able to reared all 3. One didn’t get enough feed and did fell behind but eventually turned out okay. This yr I had one young pair (1st timer) that fostered 3 eggs. They were only able to feed the babies until they were almost 2 weeks then one baby didn’t make it.
My background… I grew up in Southern California … Bill Pensom took me under his wing … my dad used to take me up to Bills home. I got birds from Bill others would kill for, but with the understanding that I’d never sell those breed stock… In the mid 1960’s I’d still pay $20 for a bird … Bill took care of me … I never liked Bills reds or red checks … they rolled too deep … and you never breed two deep rollers to another … I had lots of Bill’s whiter rollers … they spun tight, but not deep … I used to cross them with blue badges, silver red check badges, and shades of almond grizzle’s … I had to give all my birds 50++ to a good friend in 1967 … do to the Vietnam army draft… I had ten pairs and as many foster pairs … I’d end up with a 15-20 bird kit …then weed then weed them down to a 12 bird kit … Yeah I was very privileged knowing Bill Pensom … one weekend I was at Bill’s looking for a breeder cock bird… After watching his Kit perform he asks me if I saw anything I liked… “Not Really” … so he goes over to another loft pulls out this silver badge cock and tosses him up into the kit … yeah that’s what I’m looking for … enough said … when my dad and I left these two guys followed us out to our car and tried to trade me first two for one birds out of the back of their station wagon … Nope … when it got up to 12 of their birds for my one I still said no… My dad thought I was crazy … I say to my dad you don’t understand what Bill just sold me … “The Best” … good to be a young kid …
