I have done it. You need to have the right set up. In my experience it all comes down to the temperment of the birds you are dealing with.

Victor, I'm still new to rollers but I will give it a try. If you are going to put 1 cock over 2 hens, it would be a good idea to get 5 or 6 pair to use as foster parents. Your breeding pen would need to be side by side so that the cock can see both hens all the time. Just switch the cock from one hen to the other each day(one day hen #1 next day hen #2 back and forth). Time your fosters to lay with your breeders that way you can throw the foster eggs away and give the eggs you want to raise to the fosters. That way you raise more young birds from less proven stock birds...
Hey Guys, feel free to step in if I left anything out!!!

Hey Victor,
If you go to (site search) and type in Polygamy Breeding you will find a lot of useful information, that I think would be very helpful to you...
