Bands with the letters AERS on them. Anybody familiar with those band letters. Got a pair in last fall in a group of birds I recieved. Youngsters from them are great looking and starting to roll at about 5 mo. Just curious if anyone might recognize those initials and know something about the peds.

Kool, because I recieved a pair with Gary's name on them at the same time. They are about 9 yrs old though. I knew Gary had good blood and was gonna breed the first round back to the parents, but now I have a better option! I was worried about breaking the old pr up,afraid the hen might stop laying. Right now there punching them out two at a time! Thanks Kenny! I want one of those shirts, by the way! LOL

Hey Guys,
The AERS stands for (American English Roller Society). This club was organized by Dick Rickner and thier are several guys that belong to this organization. They fly the english strain of birds from lofts like Bezance, Brown, Barrett,Graham, Mason,Stratford Etc. Hope this helps.

Thanks Ivan, now I have one for you! The cock out of the first pr I bought last summer, I was told by the ownner that the bird was bought out of the air from a guy named Lucas.He also said his father was a certified 30' and was Ivan Hanchet(sp) blood. Reckon there is any truth to that?
Do you know a Lucas? Also the bird is booted.

Hey Val,
I don't know of anyone by the name of Lucas. Do You have a last name or the person he may have gotten the birds from Where does he live?? I don't have booted birds. I have a few that are groused legged but i can count the ones I do on one hand.
Thanks Ivan
