Hi you more experienced roller man. I have a question on a Roller that was a excellent flyer his first six months, but yesterday he could not come out of a roll and hit a bush. Is he a cull or just a young flyer that needs more work.
Thanks for the info in advanced!!!!

First give him worm medication to make sure he doesn't have worms. Then put him on high protin mix for a few days. If he is not a rolldown, then the problem will stop and correct itself. If that don't correct it, he is a cull.

I agree with Jay, Deworm it, feed him up a bit and hold him in for a few days.

Jay is right. Feed him up real good for a week or so and put him up again. If he is a cull he will do it for you.

if it is a deep rolling bird and rolled down from a big depth then it is a cull..-joe

Lets do it the correct way,,TAke the bird in hand,THEN release your kit, get into your car or walk,orjog a couple hundred yards away or more,Toss the bird up,towards the loft so he can also see the kit,,,He will Straightline fly to coop or kit, do this for a few days,I have great success because I drive 1\4 mi away and can still see the loft so they have to fly all this distance then join the kit or to the loft IT WORKS...119

I agree with 119 , but I would increase the distance to no less than 10 miles

119 , Sure there are some things that you can do, but it is nothing but a temporary band aid at best,in the end you can't change what that bird is.
