It depends. young unmated hens might stay if they are wooed by an unmated male. However, male feral pigeons tend to try to take the hen back to their roost. I fly thief pouters so trying to catch feral pigeons is my game lol. As a matter of fact, my Canadian friend was working with brunner pouter crossed with feral and homers. He was going to keep a large kit of males and fly them in hopes they would raid the feral pigeons and bring home hens.
