homing & racing pigeons

I'm looking to start a very small loft of homing pigeons. Is 2 birds possible? I want to eventually be able to release or have them fly in and out of the loft. I'm not looking to race for now. What age of birds should I get? What's the minimum loft size possible? Thanks for any advise.
