do you agree or disagree? The better the birds are bred, the least amount work required to get them flying and kitting.
most of my kits take up by themselves and start kitting with in 3 days. I have seen families that take weeks to get kitting.

Yes Keith you are spot on. Kitting seems to come second nature with Well bred birds also they seem easier to train.
I break my birds into the loft and within 3 or 4 times out flying the youngsters they are all kitting together just fine.
I think if you are breeding with a tight gene pool then the offspring will mirror the stock birds habits.
The biggest fault in a bird in my opinion and really irritates me is a non kitter and it doesnt matter how good that bird can roll if that bird cant kit then that bird will have a short lifespan in my loft.

This is true Smoke, number one rule they must kit and if you are breeding from birds that had problems kitting when they were flown you can not expect their young to do any thing else. What you put into your stock is basically what you get out of it. Also if you wait until the young are heavy on the wing before you get them up it will take more time before they start to kit.
P.S ( Great topic )
