i had this check wf hen, i had not flown her for 2 weeks.Today i acidentially forgot i had put her i my kit loft.I release them to fly, within a minute i see her from the corner of my eye. i see a bird coming down real fast. she actually broke off the roll in the last 5ft from the roof of the neighbors house. I was happy. Later i see the birds coming back to the loft around 300ft, then she locks in a roll and bang right on top of the loft she actually kept on rolling on the floor for a good 20 ft. i was reaaly pissed off this was a hen a was bearly going to start breeding her.She was a good flying hen.She was a good 20 to 50ft roller hen had never rolled down why now.

How old of a bird is she and how long did your fly her without trouble?
If this is the first time you have had problems with her don't cull her until she can prove she needs culled. I would keep her with your air birds and release her a couple of more times after I make sure she is physically all right and she is on the correct diet.
She must of showed good promise if you where going to breed from her; let her prove she needs to be culled before you cull her.

i had been flying her in my kit for about a year. she was a 2004 neibel hen.She was rolling real fast.I was clocking her between 3.5 to 4.9. She just got roller happy and couldnt get out of the roll.
