Deep, glad you have a lake. I bred a blue check Whiteside great grandson off of some Mee birds you sold me 3 years ago. He rolled about 200 ft and killed himself, but his sister has control. She's a 40, 50 footer. I love the bird I purchased from u. I am really grateful and thankful . Thanks once again.
Yes and no, there are too many things to consider before calling them roll downs. They are only 3 months old so they still need to build up strength to pull themselves out of a roll. They are starting to go through the molt so thats another factor and maybe they were not high enough to pull out. A deep roller needs enough height to complete its roll. I still think they are too young. Only time will tell, if they are roll downs then they will take care of them selves, if they learn how to control then I take care of them.
Flying roller this is part of the game you gonna have out of 20 kit bird 2 to 3 bird like that who wants roll down and also depend what family you flying i just had other day. roll down one of kill himself hit the roof I would say don’t fly those who roll down for couple days you may see difference
The parents are my breeders now, I flew them 1-2 seasons. Once I am happy with their performance I lock them up and stock them, I loose plenty to the cooper so I don't like to chance them and keep flying them. Its always when you say one more time and that's when you lose them. I learned my lesson.
Lou, I still do not know if they are roll downs as they are only 2 months old so I need to feed them up and get them stronger to decide if they are truly roll downs. I have had 5 roll down this year so far so I need to adjust their feed and let them mature more to see if they are in fact a roll down.
Yo! where do you get your feed thats laced with alcohol? hahahahaha, just kidding. You got some really good spinners there. I used to have some roller like that.
Thank you. Yes I believe they were too young to handle the roll. I will hold them back for 2 weeks till they get stronger on the wing to see what happens.
