any of you guys had this happen to your young kit also? Did they fly like this? How long does it take for them to get over it? These birds are about a month and a half old some are 2 and just starting to kit good any suggestions would help....Thanks in advance

Yes, happens to most guys. And yes they will get over it most of the time. When I have this happen to a kit, I take them about a quarter mile away and release them and make them lift up and fly in a straight line to home. The next day, a half mile away. Do this for several days and they will straighten out. Unless the get hit again.

New to the Hawk Raids. I have flown rollers for over 50 years but have never been hit like this. We had 3 hawks raid the kit for 10 minutes, killing one and messing up a couple more and some still missing. The kit now flys like junk, and most fly straight to trees and hide. This has left a bad side effect and I hope it will pass, Iam not sure how to get them up and performing again. A note for a few that say these birds have defective genes and cant control their roll. They should see these birds now, they were a fine up comming kit that was spinning fast and about 5 to 10 feet quite offten, and now only one or two even flip, as hole these birds dont roll any more. But This is another subject.
Sure could use some advise to how to fix the kit.
