Why is it that my rollers just tilt back but do not follow through and roll? Is there something I can do to fix that or does it mean that they just have bad bloodlines?
Thanks, Tim

The 4 month old birds may not have came into the roll yet. Make sure you are flying them every chance you get(every day if possible). The 2005 bird is probably a cull.

I agree with Nick unless the 05 bird hasn't had much fly time.If he has been lock down for some reason I give him a little more time,the squeekers need more time to see what you got.

Keep the 05 bird in til you get your squeaks up and runnin. An older bird can keep the squeaks in line, show them the ropes in the air. I always fly an older bird with my squeaks.

If they don`t kit,they don`t score.
Color don`t roll and peds don`t fly.
It`s a comp thing,understand?

I think you should take that 05 bird out of there. Put in a bird that will roll proper and use that older bird that rolls as a trigger bird. Young birds tend to watch other birds and just like a baby will follow. So to me that 05 bird is hurting you and teaching the babies bad habits.
Good luck

Thanks for all the input. I am just starting out and that 05 bird is my best even though he only rolls a little so I will have to stick with him for now. But I do notice that he keeps the sqeeks in line and keeps them flying.
Thanks, Tim
