What exactly do you look for in your rollers. I will be completely honest. (and I do not pick from the shelf)
1 - I want them to be big and stand tall.
2 - I want them to have a strong gut and and a very strong chest.
3 - I want the bird to have a big thick neck, and a powerful flat head on top.
4 - When they are in their regular stance, I want there to be 1/4 inch between the end of their tail and the end of the wing tips.
5 - For colour, I would prefer it to have red in the past. ( don't breed for colour by the way)
6 - No muffs; No Boots. (it is just me)
7 - I want them to be 100% Birmingham Roller
8 - And obviously they have to spin well, deep, fast, frequently, and I want them to kit well.
What about you?

let me tell you something lil homie this is my opinion you could try it but im sticking with it start with good stock birds pick what ever you want to breed such as in stands the keel color balancing . eyes look for all this feautures in your birds try them out fly the off spring breed alot and from there breed best to best..... thats what im trying to do i got a couple of them that are proving them selfs....... i like clean leg crogs leg or lil boots .......it dosnt matter in the color i just want it to kit good deep spin fast and hard to me thats a proven bird to me and see what they produce its not going to happen over night ... just think of your loft as a lab your the scientist that has the power so feel free to experiment with your birds and have fun

1. Birds that have a strong desire to kit and kit tight.
2. Birds that roll with good form
3. Birds that spin with high velocity
4. Birds that roll with good depth
5. Birds that roll with decient frequency
6. Birds that reproduce themselfs well
Not much else matters

Hey Nick I will take a pair like that, I am just not getting the depth I want or the frequency, I am working with two pairs of old blood 514 Frank Liven stuff.
I was getting some good results out of a hen I got from Hector C off his lace and a Norm Reed cock, but the bop ate all 07 hatches, and someone stole the hen and her mate, an old blood Smith.
I do have the last two a Brother and Sister mated up out of this pair and hope to get them flown out before bop returns. PS never have mated this close before I hope to get the blood set for a good out cross.
Last year before the bop cleaned out the kit, we did have a few full 20 bird turns out of the 514 stuff, they were not frequent or deep only about 5 to 10 ft but fast, the few that survived are not rolling after 8 months of lock down, and they have been back in the air for 2 mouths. Back to the point yes I look for the same as you do in Rollers maybe this year will produce 1 or 2 good stock birdS. L.O.L .PACOS BILL
