[GypUK]

Thanks, i'm sorry for ALL my silly questions about to follow.

 

I've got myself four rollers and don't know where to start.!! How big does a breeding box need to be? Do you think i can breed my two pairs in a 6x4 shed?

Hi and welcome to the site. Surprised you hav'nt recieved any advice from the roller guys yet but hopefully someone will come on and point you in the right direction. Personally I think 6x4 is plenty room for 2 pairs of rollers. I'd say you'de be o.k. with around a dozen birds in there with good ventilation. Will you be letting them out to free fly or have you an avery as sunshine and fresh air is the best thing for them. I'd say a box around 18''wide x 12''high x 12''deep is plenty for a pair of rollers to rear youngsters but think about where you are going to place them and adjust the size according to space available so you don't have any gaps to fill. Have fun.

yes m8 a 6x4 shed is plenty big enough for your rollers, most of the top roller men use kit boxes to fly their birds from and these hold around 20 birds and they wont be much bigger than 4x4x4 as long as you got plenty of ventilation you should have no problems, try searching around the net to look at some kit boxes, then youll see what i mean
