"Dedicated
to the preservation of the Oriental Roller as a Flying -
Performing Pigeon."
Oriental
Rollers from Germany - Fehrholz Family
In 1998, Willem Niepce
of The Netherlands sent me 4 pairs of performing Oriental
Rollers from the loft of Hartmut Fehrholz of Germany. I’ve
proved these pigeons have performance. These pigeons came with
color factors that are not usually seen in our oriental
Rollers. Here are a few examples. Andy Estrada

These
four photos are of original imports from Germany. Almond
cock on the left and an Almond hen on the right. All the
imports produce fine performers as pure Ferholtz stock
and in crosses with domestic strains. These pigeons are
a nice addition to our gene pool. Oriental Rollers from
Mr. Ferholtz are now flying in the skies over Northern
California and will soon spread to other parts of the
U.S.A.

Left
is a Blue Mottle Cock. Right is possibly an Indigo hen.
Mr. Ferholtz said he has no Indigo and that the hen is
Dominant Red (Ash Red). However, Offspring and breeding
results point more to Indigo. Since I concentrate on
flying, it will take more time to work it out with
certainty.
