SuperXroller where do you live? You need to find someone in your area with experience breeding birds.

Indeed, breeding is a heck of a hard job to manage. To start breeding, know which family you want to start with. It's best to start with one family first then multiple. You'll need breeders to give you youngster to fly, so of course, you'll need to purchase breeders from fanciers such as Tony, and other fanciers that you are familiar with. Breed those breeders and fly the youngs. That's when you pick from the air which best suites you and compete with those birds. If those birds are what you desire, they will become your own family, and you will have yourself a new strain of yours. Keep em'breeding, and keep em' flying.

Don't underestimate the space you will need for them and make sure everything is well ventilated.

Right on sounds like you are on the right track, just obtain as many as you can from the same breeder and flyum solid, pick from the air then start breeding what you think will be the ideal... good luck, wish you lived around here..

Not sure what part of MN you are from but I believe Wendell Spicik is also up in your neck of the woods. Look him up, he flies some great kits and I am certain he would be willing to give you any advice you might need. His # is in the NBRC directory at www.nbrconline.com. Joe
