Training Young Birds

[rangerkmc]

im new in pigeon keeping and i got 6 young birds, thay were happy in the loft and when i started letting them out thay stayed round the loft flying around where i live getting higher and coming in when called then came the time to start taking them out i started of going 3 miles letting them go thay come back well then done the same again and thay disappeared for 3 days so i kepet them in for a few days to recuperate and tried again 4 of them have not come back and the other 2 come back 4 days later not shaw wots going on so any advice would be good

could be clashing with other birds which are being trained by others, and most likely in a much bigger batch than your 6, could be 50 - 60 or a lot more,

[rangerkmc]

how likely are thay to come back or do i start again

How old were your birds when you started training them?

Not too sure but the man who gave them to me started training his at the same time and has had no problems.
