They can take up to six weeks to grow.
They can grow on a YB in less than 3 weeks? I had a bird return from the 1st YB race one year missing her tail and she was sent again for the 4th race.

I didn't say it was fully grown. A bird can fly without a tail. If they couldn't nobody would get birds back missing them
I was told just this last weekend by a fancier who has won most of the big races that as long as the tail feathers are a couple of inches long the bird will fly fine. They only use the tail when stopping.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

I would think it would help with streamlining and possibly balance but have had pigeons with very little tail due to the moult still fly well so not sure.
