Bought 4 Bantams...2 flew away immediately!!!! OMG!

I had no idea these little ones could fly, and fly so well!!!

I bought 4 banties this morning and 2 just chilled out and started hanging out with the heavy-breed ones in the bamboo (their favorite shady spot). One totally panicked and I thought she just ran away but it looks like she flew off. The other one hopped the neighbor's fence. I went to said neighbor's home and went to catch her. The banty freaked and flew into a 30 foot high bush of bamboo and I can't see her

Will they see my chickens and come back down? I'm really bummed out right now about my 2 missing ones...I want to go clip the 2 remaining ones but I don't want them to freak out and fly if I try to catch them, too.

Help me

I feel so so so so so terrible

I think they will return back to the sounds of your chickens. This happened to me with a couple peafowl I thought they knew where there home was after 3 days of capitivty they flew away since I didn't have other peafowl they didn't return.
My chickens come from every corner and hideout when they hear some of the chickens being feed.
Best wishes lets here about them coming home to you.

Thank you for reassuring me

I think I will buy some watermelon today, they go crazy for that and they will all come out for that. Maybe later this evening. Hoping they return, I am so sad

THEY CAME BACK!!!

My dad is telling me "You see, you couldn't see them but they could see YOU." haha

They're still too scared to come out, probably because of the big Labbies.
