Nice kit box brother 🤙👌. Keep working them man ahh wish I could be flying my rollers. Too bad I live in Minnesota and yes we have snow again 😂😅. Has been super cold this year and I already lost five round of set of eggs.

[@SmokesLoft]

Nice birds what state do you live in?

[@SmokesLoft]

Thank you 🙂. I live in MA.

[@jalalalaee9580]

There is always one or two trouble makers.

[@SmokesLoft]

Totally agree 🙂

[@SandyOutdoors]

Nice video bro ! Try feeding less at a time so birds can go back and forth into the kitbox and Also to get everyone on the kit box at the same time . Keep it up 💪🏻

[@SmokesLoft]

Excellent advice. Much appreciated 👍

[@Countrybluez]

Cut their feed back bro. Fly them after a week of a couple teaspoons of fed a day per bird. Fly them before you feed that day so they are hungry while flying. Gets them in better shape, fat birds don’t fly, and they will roll better when hungry.

[@SmokesLoft]

Excellent advice. Much appreciated 👍

[@Countrybluez]

@@SmokesLoft I struggled a lot with mine forever until I called the guy I got them from and said they sucked. He told me I was feeding almost double what I should. I cut them back on feed and boom…. Rolling like crazy

[@SmokesLoft]

Glad that is working for you. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Countrybluez]

@@SmokesLoft Yeah man I think we should all help each other out. Most rollers can be traced back to the same stuff. Mine even look like yours. Next couple weeks I want to see them rolling man!!! Let’s go 💪🏽🤣

[@SmokesLoft]

💯💪🌟🍻

How many birds do you keep in that box , are they full grown, how long have you been doing this?

[@SmokesLoft]

Each kit box I keep only 15-20 birds. The ones I see performing, outstanding and the right type are moved into my stock loft. I've been doing this for 3 years since I got back into the hobby. I don't keep a lot of birds but this year I'm going to stock more birds. 🙂

[@edluciano504]

Thank you very much you have a good day

[@SmokesLoft]

Thank you too

[@bakinatv]

Hi, how many time they are flying?

[@SmokesLoft]

If they are young I try to fly them every day until they show the progress of kitting. Then every three days. Some do it every other day. I haven't been flying my birds due to the hawks and been busy with work. But hopefully that helps. ,🙂👍

[@bakinatv]

@@SmokesLoft thx, i mean how many time 3H or 4H or more?

[@SmokesLoft]

I like my birds to fly 20-30 mins and sometimes for up to an hour only. But these are my preferences to fit my schedule. 🙂

[@ramiroscervantes2794]

how do you train them? I have a bunch of pigeons but cannot get them to fly. I let them out and they just chill on top of the lofts

[@SmokesLoft]

Depends on the type of pigeon you have. Some will just fly house to house. Some will just chill. Older birds tend to just chill. What you can try is take a flag and spook them to see if they can fly. 🙂

[@edluciano504]

How many pigeons you got kickbox

[@SmokesLoft]

I have about 20 left. I lost 10 to the hawk and falcon.

[@edluciano504]

@@edluciano504 you're welcome. Same to you 🙂👍

[@edluciano504]

How high is it from the floor

[@SmokesLoft]

@@edluciano504 usually you make the height where its high enough so you can still reach the birds.
