Okay, what is with this series and kits?
In Bluestar's Prophecy, Bluestar and Snowfur are ONE day old, and are running around camp, forming complete sentences, and what not.
However, in Dawn of the Clans, Alder and Birch are squirmy worms and can't form complete sentences, even though they're more than a day old.

I just ignore Bluestar's Prophecy for the most part. Pretty much everyone agrees that Bluekit and Snowkit were... advanced to say the least.
But other than that, it's a fantasy series that's trying to mirror human society at least to a certain extent. The six months that kits are in the nursery are supposed to resemble real kittens less than they resemble the first 8 or 9 years of a human's life. So the kits are able to start forming sentences and wandering around the nursery and just outside of it at about a moon, since if you do the (admittedly vague) math, that's around the equivalent of a 1 or 2 year old human child.
I'm totally okay with this. I've always been against the idea that Warriors needs to be more realistic in terms of real cat development and behavior. It's okay to write a series for human children where the characters resemble humans, even if they're physically not human.
Bluestar's Prophecy is also massively inconsistent with ALL of the other books in this regard, that's why I ignore it. For the most part, kits are portrayed fairly consistently, with normal levels of variation of learning ability and time. BP is the only one that's completely off the rails.

That makes sense, I was just confused on why it was so vastly different between two sets of kittens in the same series |

Because realistic kits are boring. Real kittens don't really do much before two months.

They should at the very least been maybe...2-3 weeks old? I mean, I appreciate them trying to just straight into the story, but time wise it could have been a tiny bit later. I want to see kits learning to walk and speak words!
