I have zero problems with the rollers and fertility, which is just one of the many reasons i love rollers.
My questions is, I have Show Type Racing Homers and i am experiencing quite a bit of fertility problems with them. Half the breeders are in a open loft and the other half are in individuals, with both giving me infertile eggs.
Is there any products out on the market that any of you have used that seems to help fertility? If so could you please let me know.
All the breeders where treated with 4 in 1, have had pmv and paratyphoid shots, and have had there vent trimmed before breeding season. As well as in lofts with lighting 24/7.
Maybe it is just the breed giving me the problems, but i thought i would ask for some ideas.
Sorry that this question is not geared towards rollers.

Maybe ugly hens .. and the cocks stay out all night drinking , smoking and shooting dice due to it... hard to say.

Try this "Avia Charge 2000" someone posted this product early this year, it may help.

With lighting 24/7?? If that is indeed true, that might be part of your problem. You may have effectively shut down their reproductive system. I have to review melatonin production in birds and if it is the hormone for reproduction but you need an appropriate length of night and day in any species.
You can increase day length some, but having the sun out all day would kill anyone's libido.
