We introduce the first pigeons that flew 1:100:

The last pigeon to fly 1:100 was again a young cock. On this flight, the combination had put in only young cocks and old hens. The NL23-9147627 is out of 'Nardo' x 'Malon' and is therefore a full brother to 'Paulina' (1st Prov. and 19th national ace yearling).


 

Care

The care of the pigeons is simple. Throughout the year, the pigeons are on widowhood and are allowed to train twice a day. After the last official old pigeon race, the youngsters are separated and the young hens can move to the hen-loft where they will spend the rest of the season together with the old hens, after all, there are only three departments at Comb. Ebben. The old hens and a few cocks will then be raced on the long distance races. During the old pigeon races the pigeons are not tossed at all, but with the youngsters the combination goes out several times a week. During the natour, the old pigeons are then also taken along. The sexes are simply released at the same time and half an hour after returning home everything is separated again.
The racers receive the same mixture all year round (Vanrobaeys 3910 'Ebben Special'), which is made lighter with Paddy or heavier with Engergy Mix according to their needs. See the instruction video on YouTube for this.
By-products are not given much. Obviously a good grit mixture, in addition minerals (Saturday) and condition powder (Sunday) by Mariën, once a month syrup and Zell Oxygen by Herbots and Daflor HE to moisten the feed when minerals and codition powder go over the feed.

Championships in Division 8/GOU

With the flying of the last races, the championships in the department are also known, before the national championships are completely known we still have to be patient but also here combination Ebben falls several times in the top-10. Moreover, 'Pizza' goes to the Olympiad in Maastricht.
