Hi, Umar.  Thanks for posting!

The pigeons you fly should be those that were born and raised at your home.  Pigeons that were raised elsewhere will not home to your home.  You should not release pigeons that were not born/raised in your loft...they won't come back.  Even pigeons born/raised in your loft might not come back...there's many things that can happen in the air with weather, predators, birds fly into power lines, they decide to fly elsewhere and get lost, etc.  This is just how it is with homing pigeons.  Yes, sometimes they do come back after months and sometimes years.  In these cases, it's usually because someone else found them and kept them and then when they let them out, the birds flew back to their original homes.  

I've never heard of anyone in the pigeon world clipping their pigeons' flight feathers.  These birds should just not be let out to fly because they will not come home.

Whether a pigeon is a weak flyer or not depends on many factors.  Some pigeon flyers believe certain eye colors mean certain things about a pigeon, however, I believe it's the whole picture about a bird, including parentage, training, intelligence, eyesight, hearing, smelling, weight, size, etc.
