I've realized that the more you cull the more better birds you get.. but I've been reviewing and visiting all the loft I've sold these culls to and man most of them are doing great, not only do they re-kit good they also roll pretty good as well a good depth of 15-20 foot.. It seems that If I give them away they perform better... so from what I've been studying, it seems that culling isn't really nessecary.. the birds seem to have a certain way of living in order to do their best performances.. am I right?
I have recently culled all of my birds so um... can someone give me a result? try to get 3 of you best birds in every kit you have and fly them together, If they do well together then info me back... To me I think eliminating these culls that are not rolldowns or chronic bumpers wouldn't be nessecary, I believe from what I've been studying that they just ain't fit for that kit and should be put in another kit. It seems,(from my opinion) that these so called culls just ain't fit for that certain team..

Parlor,
It will always be a work in process and hopefully you will see progress. There are times I want to cull them all either they had an off day or I had an off day. Common sence should tell you to keep the best and cull the rest. To cull ALL of your birds is not the sensible thing to do. This hobby takes work; time; and sound decision making. There had to been at least a couple of birds that where better than the rest; these are the ones you keep. If you keep restarting your loft management program you will never achieve the goals you set for yourself.
Some of the breeders in this site have taken years to get to the level they are at. You need to regroup; make a plan and stay with it. Don't give'em all up because you think someone elses birds look better.
Work at this and your rewards and awards will be great. Making the easy decision will not get you where you want to be in this hobby or in anything in life for that matter.
The fact that your birds are doing better under different management may be because they are better loft managers than you. You have to observe them and ask questions to see WHY they are doing better for them than they did for you. Then adjust, no matter how small the adjustments will be.
You got to work at it.......everyday!

I get your point, I've culled all of my birmingham for one reason, there are 3 traits I've tried to introduce to the family, control, roll, and depth, They couldn't control the roll and didrolldowns. I hate the roll and the depth were too deep. been there and done that, that is why I culled.. The birds I sold to other lofts weren't excellent performers until I sold them away, they didn't fit the program and so did the other birds. 60 ft rollers aren't my thing..
