Long distance racing pigeons in Hoevenen-Antwerp



Results 2016

Season is over, last race was Perpignen, with mixed feelings. 1 cock was in time, the hens wer late. For some reason, my hens didn't get on track this year, lets hope next year will be better. Let's remember that I started with total widowhood, and on June 4th everything got paired for the nest game. It didn't brought what I expected, and especially the weekend Agen/Montelimar was bad. After Libourne everything was split again, and back on widowhood to race Brive - Narbonne - Perpignan. The cocks started to fly better at home and a superb Narbonne (Carcassonne) was the result with a 10th international. The hens were not good enough, let's hope for 2017.

Things to think about in the 2016 winter. As I see it now, 2017 will be total widowhood again. The youngsters did race 6 to 9 times with the club, at least 4x 218km (Noyon). Not many youngsters were lost, and because I want them to get a correct chance, lot of them will be yearlings, a bit more than I expected.

The old ones had their elimination yet. 15 old ones will stay, 8 Cocks and 7 hens. 1 pigeon will move to the breeding loft, "De Carcassonne" 10th international Carcassonne (Narbonne). He's from the year 2012 and did have some good results earlyer.
