Gommaire Verbruggen is racing after 4 National races at the same high level as the past season

01 Jul 2021

After his amazing season of the past year has Gommaire Verbruggen started off very strong again. All best racing pigeons with exception of one stayed in the racing team and could again make nice weather. When you have after 3 national races 13x Top 20 National (z) in the pocket you know that you’re at the right track. 

Off course more national races will come along to have a go for one or more national ace bird just as the past season.

Both with cocks as hens 

The racing team exists both out of cocks as hens and are all being raced on the classic widowhood system. Not as they used to race on the ‘chaos’ system where it were mostly the hens that raced top. No, now he want a maximum of efficiency and the cocks now race as hard as the hens. 

After the moulting period end of November all racing pigeons are being coupled and can have a winter breeding. No second coupling follows but are being darkened from the beginning of March until the end of April. 

In a matter of daily training they are being released once a day and they still train very good. One full hour in the air is more norm as exception. At the day of basketing they don’t train. 

How do you take on the races between the nationals ? 

This is very different, when the weather is normal this will be normally a shorter flight ( +-200km ), but the week after Chateauroux I left the team at home and had them tossed myself at 20km from home on Saturday morning and left them together for half a day. When you then have a look at Argenton with 10x Top 100 National zone a week of rest can’t do any harm according to Gommaire. 

How are your breeders during the week?  

The boxes are all being closed both with the cocks as the hens and long sticks will come onto the loft to sit on. We don’t foresee anything at the floor to avoid the coupling amongst each other. If couples are being formed between hens then I’ll split them up over 2 lofts. 

Do you anything in a matter of motivation ? 

The pigeons always get to see their partner, the cocks get their hen for about 5 to 10 minutes with the nest dish and the hens get to see their cocks mostly for half an hour. 

When they get home there is food and drinks foreseen to let the pigeons rest for a bit and when a big group of pigeons is home that’s the moment I go up and leave them together with their partners. In a matter of food I only use Super Recup from Anthoons. The last day they get twice as they want and afterwards a lot of pealed sunflower pits are being given for the extra fats.
