They may spend the night out now if it's getting dark. Can they see the coop from where they are now?
What kind of pigeons are they? Do you call them to eat in a special way?

You can try to catch them and put them inside the new loft. I would assume they are homers.

Don't feed them for one day. On the next day start a very small trail of seed leading from your front yard to the back yard. Have the bulk of their feed at the base of their loft and inside of it. It may take a few days of them being hungry, but sooner rather than later they will get it.

3 ended up returning and three are lost still. i'm happy bout that i guess since i thought they were all gone. i'm thinking i should keep the other ones in there that made it back till the lost ones start hanging on the coop? yes, they are homers and were trained in the former coops location. thanks. matt.
