If I were you and you had mated pairs I would be tempted to only release the females out first and leave the males captive until they are used to your loft and then visa versa and finally all together. Each to his own however.

You can also whistle. Or any sound that you want them to associate with food. Mine know food is coming before I start whistling cause they hear the metal trash can lid rattle (what I keed my feed in) when I open it haha.

That would work he does have 10 others he already had so hopefully they will keep the new ones grounded, or at least give them someone to learn from and follow.

thats what made me think that they would be ok to let them out sooner since they have become part of the group
