  2. Mine is 8ft long with 15 perches in each side but the competition flyers keep 20 odd birds in each kit box. My mate made it for me.

    Cats

    I love cats. I couldn't eat a whole one though
  4. Yes mate I keep my rollers in a kit box. An old picture of my box before the perches and landing board went on.
  5. I don't know tbh mate but it's not the first one I've brought back with a doo. My neighbour keeps rollers and I've brought a few of his back too.
  6. My black doo just found me a young roller I lost a week ago.
  7. I'm not a scot it's just easier calling them doos than horseman thief pouters and 98% of the people who keep them for working are Scottish. I like the personality and temperament of the breed and I do try and use them for bringing back other birds but out of Glasgow and Edinburgh there's not really any competition just lost birds and ferals. It must be some sight having a thousand flights and tipplers whizzing around above your head.
  8. norwich? Maybe a splash of it. I think most working pouters are crosses, like lurchers.
  9. I've been letting him work other colour roller hens so he stops being choosy, as long as he flies well and attracts my rollers back I'm happy. I got them 2 doos and a hen and they all fly really well, my old ones must have been stiffies
  10. I've only just got these tbh. I got rid of my others a good while ago but when I was watching young rollers drifting off lost I had to get them back for retrieving them. That black doo flies for miles and has plenty of steam he just needs to stop looking for cream hens now.
  11. And hopefully they will be bringing back these little buggers when I start flying them. I lost 5 of my first 6 chicks this year.
  12. Each to their own but I can't stand them feather legged ones or deformed beakless ones. Some of them types can't feed their own young can they?
  13. The voorburg croppers look nice.
  14. I think it's only the bully cock that can't mule. Chaffie crosses can be done.
  15. How big is the dog your feeding and how much complete are you feeding with a lb of meat? Whippet X bedlington X Whippet 21 inch 21.5 kilo three handfuls of complete. This thing of mine is 25 ish tts and 26 kilo when I weighed him at the vet and he gets a pound of mince and a mug of complete and he does ok on that, if I give him leftovers or bread I decrease the amount of complete and if he's been out loads I up the amount of complete.
  16. How big is the dog your feeding and how much complete are you feeding with a lb of meat?
  17. The mags I had flew for hours and kitted well but they didn't tumble much.
  18. I had to force myself to stick with it and learn how to use it and I wouldn't go back to the mk1 now.
  19. Get a kit box and some rollers
