    No expert but I don't think people race roller pigeons. Racing requires racing homers.

    Maniac is correct about not racing rollers. Homers are the racing pigeon and it takes a while to get set up to race. You might consider looking for a club in your area. My first year, some very generous people were kind enough to give me some birds to get started. I really enjoy it.

    Rollers dont race but they do have competitions for rolling pigeons.
    Are they are kind of pigeon clubs near you?

    What can you do with them ? well; you can loft fly them just to enjoy them or do a little research on the web to find out what roller pigeons do.
