Snowy, last year lost 5 at once, lost on Friday and the last ones came back on the Monday - all returned, and it was a race weekend for the old birds. Didn't lose any off loft, but plenty spent night out before young bird racing started. My young birds for this year  aren't flying yet.

SNOWY,ALWAYS FOUND MY BEST YOUNG BIRDS HAVE HAD NIGHTS OUT, MIGHT HAVE BEEN FROM ROUND HOME OR TRAINING THEY MUST LEARN ALOT THROUGH THIS.IF THEY COME BACK THEY WILL NOT WANT TO DO IT AGAIN

Westy I have had youngens missing a week then been my first arrival on race day (lol) normally just in time to keep my old bird flying on return.  One cock I had missing a week came back as thin as a razor but went on later in life to be one of my best Pau pigeons. Still time yet mate.

[Guest]

When trying to break pigeons or in your case Westy, trying to bring AWOL youngsters down, a good tip I was given is to leave your (old) birds out from first light till dark. Has done the trick for me, both breaking old birds (a 9 year-old only last week) and fetching errant youngsters home.

 

Good luck.

THAT'S WHY I KEEP A FEW FANTAILS, I PUT THEM OUT ALL DAY IF I HAVE YOUNGSTERS MISSING, IF THEY ARE STILL IN THE AREA WESTY THERES A GOOD CHANCE THEY WILL GET BACK

[Guest]

When they do finally come back Westy, I would keep them apart from your others for a few days to make sure they are OK, I lost a few YBs last year and they eventually turned in after 4-5 days, and they were crapping grean slime, so were spilt away for a fortnight until they returned to normal!!!

[snowy]

yes still missing 2, but leaving the trappers & old birds out all day, just incase, seen 1 still flying around but not come down yet,

oh well we still hope

[rockinrick]

had mine out for first time today with my shaker in hand and as soon as i called my four ybs trapped within 5 mins i was well impressed lol

it jus takes patience westy and a good feed training before hand lol

Don`t worry about it son,if it`s your distance babies,they could be missing for a week and come back,if any do,it could be the best thing to happen to them and be the making of them,if they stay away,you got more fresh air in your loft.,so your on a winner whatever happens :)
