Flying Rollers


Having trouble getting my rollers to fly, they make a short circle then right back on the loft, its a mixture of young and old birds. the first time i flew them they did fine, in fact two of them stayed out all night, but they flew really hard for about 30 minutes. Any advice

My birds are almost done. Make sure you offer them baths and plenty of protein. In a couple of weeks they will be ready for some rolling.

if they are old enuf to be on the floor on their own now would be a great time to get them used to trap training and out where they can get a lay of their surroundings too

I have had them for awhile, some are old birds, they just have alot of pin feathers from the moult, and some are nesting, a little more trap traing for the ones that are not nesting wont hurt, thanks for the idea.
