hi all just wondering if anyone could let me know wat methods u use on preparing ur birds for comp ive gota fly in a week and avent seen a break for days but i have got some smart individualls
Sam, were your birds rolling before they stopped doing anything? If they had roll and you are flying them everyday, all they might need is a couple of days of rest and they should be back in form. Now if your birds are heavy in the molt, this might just be a phase they will go thru until the molt is over. Good Luck!! ---------- Sal Ortiz
hay sam, i agree with sal keep on what your doing you should be ok when you fly in a week ---------- Donny James "Fly The Best And Cull The Rest" "Saying One Thing;Doing Its Another" "Keep Your Head Planted In The Sky And Wings Spanned Wide" 1996 Piedmont Roller Club Lifetime Achievement Recipient Portsmouth Roller Club Participation Award System Recipient 1994 '96 '97 And 2000 2001 Limestone,Ohio Sportsman's Club Lifetime Member Recipient 2002Portsmouth Roller Club Certified Judge 2004Portsmouth Roller Club Lifetime Member Recipient "Miss Portsmouth"NBRC/90/J311 Rusty Dun Check Self Hen First Bird To Get Certified In Portsmouth Roller Club History With A Score Of 53 Judge By Joe Roe The 1993 World Cup Winner And John Bender The 1994 World Cup Winner
1. Are all the birds within the kit a verifiable roller? 2. What are you feeding them? 3. How long are they flying? 4. How high are they flying? 5. How fast are they flying? 6. Were they breaking well together before they stopped rolling? 7. What family of rollers? I am familiar with many, thus the question. 8. Are they frequent on average, or infrequent? 9. Where are they at in the moult? Meaning, and counting from the last flight at the tip of the wing which is #10, are they moulting in 10, 9, 8, or #7? 10. Are they in a heavy body moult? 11. Are the cocks driving the hens? 12. What is your average morning, as well as late afternoon temperature? 13. How deep are they on average? 14. If the kit you are talking about is a kit made up of all verified spinners, how often are you flying them? 15. Do they trap immediately when they are released? 16. Have they been plagued by hawks and falcons lately? 17. What time of day are you training them? What is the temp then in fahrenheit? 18. Has the weather changed drastically lately? 19. What does their droppings look like? 20. Have you recently removed a frequent hen from the kit that ordinarily flies toward the front of the kit?
