my advice get them out younger they are more they want back in husher them out every day and shut door have food in ready when you open the door you will see a big difference every day with urgency that they run in and build on this every day I'll add link to YouTube videos I've done from 1st day out to flying and trapping in brain wash them to door open I must go in and it will stick with them for life

some great footage there worm, sadly my trap is off the ground & my birds are not flyers yet, and the door to the loft is from another part of the building

Leave them there but make sure they have access to water, then say tomorrow move them onto garden where they can see loft

Longer the better as the more they out the more they see but at the same time they need to know the loft is there home

If you have a board inside the loft other side of landing board you could turn crate round and let them walk through and in
