Quick question

[Lance]

We're having a bit of a blizzard here in southern Ontario.  And one of my stock birds got out.  (I've had her for about 2 weeks)  She flew easily out of visibility, and within 20 minitues came back. (storm is really snowy so you can't really see far)  She had just eaten and it was about 6pm when she got out (getting dark)    What would the odds be that if i let her out on a good day, unfed that she'd return?

I THINK YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANS OF GETTING HER BACK IF SHE IS NOT TO FIT BUT I WOULD WHAT TILL SHE WAS DOWN ON EGGS TO TRY HER OR A YOUNG BIRD

I think the blizzard maybe had most to do with the hen turning back.  

 

Always a gamble trying to break a pigeon sitting eggs or a youngster, if it works its fine, but if it doesn't you could end up losing the round and the pigeon.

 

The hen does seem fairly settled, so provided you can float her eggs or youngsters if things go belly-up, you may want to try her again, this time with other birds out, but not with her mate, and   not in a blizzard.

It may have been the weather that turned her back and made her return, but I think that if she has done it once she will do it again

Eight of my stock birds got out last Autumn , four returned the next day. Since then I've let them loft fly with no problems. (I won't risk basketing them to train though. :)

Better than ever, it has now a notion that your loft is there and is safe.
