All good stories start with ONCE upon A time. In the days when i never spent so much time doing a left hand twist, it was easy to tell good from bad. Prodigy testing is nesasery but the twist should not be as much. Maybe Ilive in a dream world.

It is the amount of culling, that seems to have to happen. When i had birds before thier wasn't that much. maybe my standards are higher now.

Here for a second I thought you were talking in your sleep (lol).
When the standards move to the next level up, people are usually not happy with the current performance level and start tightening the noose to get better performing birds out of their flocks.

Realisticaly as the quality of your stock birds get better your culling should decrease. I cull very few birds these days. Unless it is a problem bird I fly it out. the preditors actually do most of my culling for me these days. When I lock down for the BOP season I still fly the birds that have not come into the roll yet and put them away as they come in. I do this until the losses become greater than 1 bird a day. I dont like feeding the birds to the preditors but I also dont want to keep a loft full of culls locked up like they are something special. Like I said earlier I cull quickly if the bird is a problem. High flyer, non kitter, lands early more than a couple times. I dont care if the bird is moulting either because my birds dont land early and the kitting in them is as tight as I have seen. The only thing the moult effects on them is the frequency and the quality. Not the fly times. Joe

Hi Scott Coe! welcome. I too was hoping you were not talking about the bird twisitng its neck like Linda Blair in Excersist.
You are one step ahead of me, because I did not cull enough when I got rollers and you have the past experience to ponder on.
Today I am much more like Alice in wonderland...Off with her head!
I find it interesting how you can compare some things with the past which alot of us just have to read about. Just remeber if a guy has 15 pair and wants to let go of three pair which three do you think you will get? I suggest getting squeakers off his best stock and go from their. Bill C Patience is a virtue.
