i have 7 adult rollers and 4 squeakers. two of the adult birds
are brand new to the coop. as of now none of them have been
flown but they are very in tune with the feed call. the two new
birds are catching on quick. the new birds been in for a week or
so but the others about three weeks. i want to fly them but how
do i know when they are ready.
I lock them out on the trap for a while they all trap rite in
when called, but does that mean they are ready to fly.

Hi there marvin. Well from my point of view. Do you have a kit
box? and also it would be best if you lock them up for up to 2
months then let them fly. Couples of week aren't good enough. I
did that before and I lost all my birds. I learn my lesson. I'm
pretty sure there is more experts than me, so they can tell you
the rest.

I agree with vang. Give your birds plenty of settling time to
become familiar with the kit box and their surroundings before
releasing them; just to ensure that you do not lose your birds.
Been there, done that and wished I had waited longer before
releasing my first rollers, but it was a lesson learned ::)

Marvin,
Will, I have question for you...HAVE THE BIRD EVER BEEN FLOWN
BEFORE??...it does not matter how old the bird is... If you just
got a squeeker from someone else that still squeeking you should
lock it up for @ least 2 week... DO NOT TOTALLY LOCK UP YOUR
BIRD...you must introduce your bird to your backyard @ least
every other day....
A SECRET FOR YOU TO KNOW: Every single family line have
different requirement time to be lock up...
If you don't know if you should lock up your bird for a long
time or short, you must know how high and long your bird
fly....The bird that fly high will need to get lock up
longer...The bird that fly low do not need to get lock up soo
long...Reason why I say this is because the bird that fly high
have more chance of memorizing the way back home...
Bird that fly low lock em up for a month
Bird that fly high lock them up for 2 month
But you must not forget that only if the bird have been flown
before @ someone else backyard....
For squeeker, right out from the nest you can release/fly them
right @ that moment...
When you have reach the max of incarcerated the bird.... Gently
open the kit box door and just walk about a 100 ft back and give
them the time to come out by their self.. DO NOT CHASE 'EM, DO
NOT THROW ANYTHING @ THEM.... DO THIS FOR A WEEK...After a weak
you can finally start to chase your bird if you want to......
Jay....

jay mua lee,
how do i introduce the birds to my backyard without flying them.
and yes all of the birds have been flown. they have all won
competitions galore. and none of them came from the same coop.
And i dont have a kit box. i have an 8x8x7 foot coop with a 3
foot fly trap on it. its so big because in total i have 50
birds. 30 of them are mating rite now in another coop.
