Parlor Rollers

[NewHopePoultry]

Awhile back I was looking into getting some Birmingham Rollers, but the guy never got back to me.
So now Ive found someone local with Parlor Rollers.
So whats the difference between a Birmingham Roller and a Parlor Roller?
How are Parlor Rollers housed?

Parlor rollers do not fly. They just roll on the ground when they fell the need to fly. Birm rollers fly and roll in the air. I had parlor rollers for a while but sold them. They where time consumeing to keep because they need to be kept in cages. You will have to feed and water each pair in there cages. If you let them out in a big loft they would not be able to get up off the floor. I did enjoy them. They where a lot of fun to take to the park and roll. But haveing them dubbeld my work time in the loft every night.

What size cage does a pair need?

 

[yardbird tx]

Had mine in some old converted rabbit hutches, all wire.

I have a cage that I was going to make into rabbit cages, but never got around to it.
its about 6 feet long, 2 feet tall and 2 feet long.
Would this work? How many can it house? Should I spilt it up or leave it whole

The Cage You Have Can Be Divided Into 3 Sectoins Of Equal Size Will Be Just Right For Parlors Keep Them In A Place Were They Are In A Quite Not Bothered Place They Will Roll Off The Nest And Break Eggs Nests Should Be Low Were They Can Step Into Them. Palors As Young Can And Will Fly Till They Are 4 Or 5 Months Old Then They Ground Them Selfs Pauls Loft .com Is A Website Of The Top Breeder Of Parlors
