Went to kennelgate today too to get some verselle laga but some fella had just been in and bought the last of it so come on own up who was it ;D ;D ;D cheers chris

Let the rollers out this morning and kept the fantails in,tapped the top of the loft and while they didn't roll as such they kitted beautifully which is the first time they have 8) So I think I'll start letting them out before feeding and keep the fantails in. Just as an experiment after they'd circled the house for a few minutes I let the fantails out and they were straight back down so hopefully I've solved the problem,I'll let you all know how it goes cheers chris

kennelgate in shrewsbury sell it too although its probably a bit more expensive from there wayne but I've only got 12 pigeons so it shouldn't break the budget cheers chris

Thanks for that I'm off all weekend so I'l get them out in the morning,should I try flagging them to get them up? I realise its the wrong time of year to start cutting back feed too much now cheers chris

I feed them daily in the morning I'd probably be better feeding smaller ammounts more often would I but I work full time,sorry if I'm being a bit thick about all this cheers chris

They're just fed daily on bucktons young bird,no special system,I've been told verse laga is a better quality feed? cheers chris

I'm wondering if I'm feeding my rollers too much as they're not flying much,when I let them out a few may get up but the others are straight back in the loft. Someone has mentioned trying to flag them,would this work? Or I though I could just take them across the field from my house and toss them to get them flying more? I'm not wanting to compete but I would like to see a nice kit of rollers above my house Also I've got a few garden fantails in a different coop but they're out at the same time,will this keep them down? Apologies in advance for all the stupid questions :-/ cheers chris

Thanks for the welcome everyone Busy trawling through all the old posts at the minute,makes for some interesting reading cheers chris

Wayne where do you buy your corn from are there any syndicates that buy in bulk round here? I get my stuff from nixons in shrewsbury its bucktons but I was wondering if there's any cheaper places about?I also feed pigeon corn to my chickens that I show too cheers chris
