I rehomed 10 Year old Homers before all I did was pull all their flights on one wing so that they can’t fly and let them roam freely around My yard until their wing grows back which takes approximately one month however I have to say that a few of them still visited their old loft from time to time but they always slept in My loft.
I’ve always read and heard that homers will always go back to their old loft but I was able to rehome a couple year old homers. Maybe bad bloodline or idk 🤷♂️. I know that where I got them from was about a 20 min drive north of me and the guy had a shed coop but he never let them out once. Of the 4 I got, I kept them prisoners for about 5 months and each pair laid eggs twice. Finally opened the loft and let them venture out, 1 flew away right away, 1 went to the trees and came back in during feed time, did this a couple times then took off, and the other 2, I still have.
Good job on the new birds! I have successfully rehomed six month old racers if they enjoy where they're at:) Always like your videos keep up the good work!
Very nice work my friend. I glad you did not lose any birds. When pulling the last 3 flights really helps on keeping them there until lean where home is.
The last time I pulled three flights I let them stay in for a good month but this is a totally different story. But I think it should work out if the hawks can stay away. Poor things have no defense.
Yes I’m excited about it also. Just hope I have enough time to train them properly. The guys at the club say that I have enough time but I never tried to train birds so quickly. We’ll see what happens
Hi Mike hope you all are doing well. Great birds. It’s nerve racking to settle young birds come to this😁😁😁 hopefully they will gradually will settle. Settling older birds sometimes is very hard. Looks like they are very comfortable wish for the best snd again sorry about passing of a flyer and friend😘😘😘 give my love to all.
Eventually they will be with my other birds but for now I’m not really wanting them to fly. At the beginning of the video I mentioned I pulled the tail feathers on half of them as an experiment to see if it would help. Thanks for asking

Great Job! I’m sure most of them will be rehomed by the time their flights grow back.

I got the feeling that they like it here so far but hard to tell since they can’t really fly away lol. Thanks for the support my brother
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons always something might happen but we need to try and settle them. The good ones will stay👍👍👍😘😘😘
👍
✌️😁
👍🏽
Just picked up 3 6month old birds what should I do first? Pluck them and let them roam with my other birds?
Don't let your guard down Mike it could go pear shaped pretty quick.
Thanks, you never know with these guys
Why is the club pushing so fast to fly them…2 weeks?
No it’s not two weeks. If I said that I miss spoke. It is the third weekend in September
Hey my guy I once bought pigeons from you ! Do you have any young’s pigeons for sale ?
I’m the guy from South Carolina
Yes I have plenty. You can email me rockyridge0725@gmail.com
I lost ur number but if u have any young’s let me know
You could always have let them out with one or two of your own old birds. What up with some of their tails?
Eventually they will be with my other birds but for now I’m not really wanting them to fly. At the beginning of the video I mentioned I pulled the tail feathers on half of them as an experiment to see if it would help. Thanks for asking
@@Rocky.Ridge.Pigeons Oh apologies. I must have missed that bit.
