Jerry, Jerry, Jerry Your giving up on them too soon!!!Take them up the road a little ways. When you release them they will have to rise in order to get their bearing. Do this for a few days and they should be fine. Dont give up just enjoy them. Joe

Rollers a creatures of habbit. Good ones and bad ones. If you are a bit worried about the young learning bad habbits from them then fly them seperately. Joe

Actually you need to cut the feed way back. They are too fat. Cut them back to approximately 1 tablespoon per bird and box them and haul them up the road. They wont react overnite but you will definately see a change in a week or so. Joe

Take the corn out of their feed and substitute with wheat. You will see a big difference. Your birds are fat.

Just wondering what the thought is on frequency of feeding. Do you feed once a day or more? Does this affect flying?
