Not wishing to offend you, but have you made sure that these birds are in the best of health. There are a lot of reasons why birds are late coming home after a toss. And as most are saying they will probably be there in the morning. Sometimes late birds are ill with YBS or something else. If that is the case they may find it hard to cope with the training.

A good check is to be sure that they eat with gusto and fly for the love of it. Another give away is if the birds are quiet and sit about.

All young pigeons make mistakes while they are being trained but the best ones will sort themselves out and get home anyway. Even if it is later rather than sooner. Good experience though. And not just for the pigeons.

We've had more than ten YB training tosses from 20 to 60 miles so far and not once have they come back in a group and on most occasions all the birds which have returned have been in singles. Losses each time have been between 5 and 50 per cent and when they do return they are so jumpy it is pretty obvious they have had a fright somewhere along the line. Sorry to say the days when you could take a kit of  birds, young or old,  away and race back to find them all back or be just in time to see them pitch as a flock are long gone in most areas. It's tough I know - but anyone entering the sport now might as well get used to the fact that when they train their birds they are in for a lot of disappointments. For this reason we don't train our widowhood cocks once they have had one race, of course it's not so simple with young birds which need the experience.

I personally have had more probs on short tosses <5 miles than on longer ones
