how old are they?

Assuming they aren't on the wing yet, a few days is enough for them to familiarise themselves with the loft/area. You don't want to hold them too long as they are likely to up and off if they can then fly. If they are homing to their old loft, you should hold them a week before trying them out, but at least you'll know where to get them back.

If the older ones are making it up to the top perches you'll have to be a bit careful with these. You could place them in a basket or training crate and sit this on the top of your loft so they can have a good look around. I'd do this for an hour or two a day for a week before letting them out.
