i was wondering if you let your young ones fly when they are old enough to mate already and has never been flown, could they still roll to there full potential?

Late fliers
I have 6 pairs of late hatches. These were used as breeders the following season. I purchased them after a round or two, they never were flown until I got them. I flew them like crazy for 3 months. A couple actually started to roll. Most would not. It took them about a month to kit decent. after that they stayed together okay. The only one that really rolled is a hen. Don't know if that matters.
If you can fly them you should, Late hatches that sit, I do not believe will ever get to there full potential, with out a lot of patience on your part.

I am flying two kits that are five to six months old and had never been flown. It took three weeks for them to start to kit and some probably never will. One kit they are rolling pretty good probably as good as they would have if flown younger. The other kit is hardly rolling at all. I didnt split them in any special way just the way they went into the kit boxes. It takes a lot of patience to deal with unflown birds that have some age on them. I wouldnt do it if I could help it.

I think you should take your chances flying them at least till they know how to kit well.

Me personally I will fly them until they kit .then I lock them up .The roll if its in them it will come out when the time is right. you can take a kit that never been flown and train them again but its harder then if they were youngsters and especially if you are a beginner ..some rookies have a hard time with youngsters in training them imagine birds that are older and never flew.it can make you quit so I don't recommend it..good luck in your decision .it is yours to make..
