How long do you house a kit before their first flight?

I like to wean the youngsters at 23 to 27 days...I put them
into a kitbox with a training cage and removable trap which they
will have to go thru to get their first meal even if it means
that I push some of them thru....usually by the fourth and fifth
day I will have them on the kitbox roof and trapping without any
problems....the key to getting them out this quick is weaning
them before they can fly much at all... Jay

i like to put my about 31 days old and i keep them in there for
about a week and making sure their are eating on their own and
then i start working with them going though the trap for about
week and open the trap and then let them go in and out for a
week and setting on the roof until they take off on their own
and then start pushing to fly long until they take off when ever
i let them out to fly........................donnie james

Take them away from their parents at 18 days and put them in the
kitbox. It may sound crule but it is not. They will become adapt
to you faster and learn from each other at a younger age. They
will hold very well and become better birds as they mature.
after a week, just let them in and out while they are hungry and
you are good to go.

As soon as they are feathered,they go into my kitboxes. After a
week of trap training and sitting out in a settling cage they
get their "first" taste of freedom to do what ever they want
too.
