FIRST TIME OUT

[Guest SPORTKA]

Have got my 4 ybs settled in now , they are feed twice a day on the dot of 9am  and 5pm i/2 oz each at each feed, they come down off perches as soon as I rattle tin, in fact they fly down now as soon as I approach shed (even when I try sneakin up to them they seem to know im approaching) anyway I am thinking of letting them out and bearing in mind they are now what I would call strong given the amount of practice flying they do after their feed.

I have a number of options and would value your opinions

 

option one  is to miss the morning feed and loose them out around 5.30 or later if advised, then if they hang about offer food to get em straight back in.

 

option two same routine only let two of the 4 go out, just wondering if theres any more strenght in numbers and best to risk all 4 ?

 

option three I have been told that it might be best to fly a few tumblers first to use as droppers, I have bought 6 but they wont be with me for around another week, then Iv got another few weeks to settle them in before they go out and all the time my racers are getting stronger

 

I really dont want to lose these little beauties so any advice would be great

thanx in advance
