Hi Wayne,
Nice typed birds,, the thing that really stands out to me is their expression in the face. Birds in my family that have the beak line that is below the pupil like your two birds,, especially the check Tends to be over hot. I know its a family trait. It just really stood out in the photo's of your two birds.. How long did you fly these two out and what is their performance? Interesting to see the difference in beak setting and facial expression..

These birds have never been flown in the air due to costing me a small fortune. I did not want to take the risk or lose any of them. I paired up on paperwork alone and have got some great results from this pair of cocks. These birds have been bred from Peter Harpers WC winning strain back in 92. I was after this strain of birds for many years. I have some nice yearlings being flown at the moment and some great youngsters from these cocks. Ill post some hens later kenny.

Hey Wayne,
Thanks for the information. The blue bar has a hen's head in the photo,, They don't look like overly masculine cock birds. That is good, I bet you get a lot of good cocks that don't cause problems in the kit loft. I was just wondering, do you know what I mean about the beak line and setting of the beak,, I just wanted to make sure. Most good birds in my family have the beak line that splits straight through the pupil,, If its below it, tends to be an indication of too hot in the air. If you laid a string line from the tip of the beak and went right down the split where the beak closes through the eye to the back of the head. The string line should follow the gap and the angle right through to the back of the head. Where this beak line follows through the pupil is a tell tell sign in some families. This beak setting has a lot to do with the look or facial expression of rollers. Its not magic, but it is a tool one can use to understand his own family. An indicator of sorts, once you know your family.. Just a thought,, KGB

Thanks Kenny for the information about the beak line. Yes i know exactly what you are saying and i will observe that little trait in the near future. To be honest i have never noticed that trait not going into detail so much with my birds but i will do from now on. Yes Kenny my cock birds seem to give not much trouble in the kit boxes also these birds are the best kitting strain of birds i have ever seen and witnessed i can hold my thumb up in the air at 200ft and hide the kit when in flight. Also the cocks don't seem as masculine as some of the birds i have seen over there regarding backskull.

Thanks Kenny,
I had never heard anything about the beak line, and the way it lines up with the pupil...
