aye sorry forgot to mention thats where mine been since last sept and if not in aviary they been in loft wi door open and mesh door closed to see out ov,,,1 got out other week a hen and she went bk to the lads up the gardens new she didnt belong there and came bk to mine about an hour later so dnt think they will take much breakin

Choose a dirty night an hour or so before they are going to roost, keep them hungry and tease them outside with their favourite titbit. Do this a couple of times to get them familiar with re-entering the loft. You can't fail.

the best will settle and the ones that wont forget about,done this loads of times and you will find out that only your best birds will settle without much hassle and will still carry on winning.
