Newbies Pressured To Buy Rollers?
Today I spoke with a new customer who purchased a pair of young birds that he intends to lock down until they are old enough for breeding. Using some fosters, he plans to raise several rounds so he can get a kit started with several of his own Ruby young birds. He wants to compete and is very excited about his future in rollers. I wish him the best...THEN HE SHOCKED ME BY WHAT HE SAID NEXT!
