I`d have to guess that if they were their better birds they would not end up at a feed store.
Although, I have seen some post about buying birds at a feed store or pet shop and getting some nice stuff to start with.
I also would guess it is possible that some were culled too early and just had not really developed real well yet.
I often wonder how many good rollers are culled too early to see their real potential...
I bet many of us have done it...

when we go that way we always stop to see all the animals my daughters always say lets stop at that place with all the animals, we have found some decent birds from big time breeders maybe they strayed and some one traded for feed

cv rollers,this is my take on that sometimes these birds are brought to the pet shop because someone caught them as a stray and sold them for some feed or couple of dollars instead of calling the owner or asking around.or they just happen to be what they call a cull and ended in the pet shop by someone who didn't want them....
