Broeckx Niels (Oud-Turnhout) own back an Olympiad pigeon with "Olympic New Elfje"
04 Dec 2022
Niels Broeckx is the son of Jan and Marleen Broeckx. The family moved from Baarle-Hertog to Oud-Turnhout in 2007. In Baarle-Hertog (Baarle-Nassau), they already played under the name 'Jan Broeckx'. In his turn, Jan is the son of 'Broeckx-Van Hees' from Oud-Turnhout, also formidable fund players. Pigeon sport is a family sport because the wives of the house, Maria Van Hees (Jan's mother) and Marleen Govaerts (Jan's wife) are also involved in pigeon sport on a daily basis and have become indispensable in caring for their winged friends.
Jan Broeckx has been playing with pigeons for more than 25 years, including a good decades in Oud-Turnhout. He combined pigeon racing with work in his bakery in Baarle-Hertog. In 2012, the bakery was sold and from now on both Jan and his wife Marleen, who took care of the bakery shop, were able to focus entirely on 'pigeon-milking'. The result of this tight plan immediately resulted in good results for the youngsters from 2012 onwards. In 2013, these pigeons confirmed by winning quite a few prizes as yearlings. The trend was set and from year to year it went cresendo with the results of the Broeckx pigeons.
One of the dreams of Jan and Marleen was to play an Olympiad pigeon one day in their pigeon career and look, in 2017 "Olympic 306'ke" made this dream come true by achieving 1st Olympiad pigeon Cat. C
‘Olympic 306’ke’. Zij won oa.:

As "Olympic 306'ke" was sold, Jan and Marleen decided to immediately give siblings a bin in the breeding loft. A decision they have not regretted for a second. The following breeding references provide proof:

A new Olympiad pigeon with "Olympic New Elfje"
And Marleen and Jan's dream continues as they have bred and played a new Olympiad pigeon. Hen "Olympic New Elfje" represented our country at the Olympiad in Romania 2022 ! Will she become the new breeding phenomenon? We are curious
The 2022 season
At the start of the 2022 season, there were 30 old hens, 20 yearling hens and 30 yearling cocks ready. These are supported by 50 breeding couples and a 350 youngsters are weaned annually.
The old and yearling birds are all played with partners staying at home. The old hens are played up to Limoges/Souillac (750km). The yearling hens work the national 500km programme while the yearling cocks get to prove their ability on the speed (Quievrain and Noyon). "To be quite honest" Jan tells "we also played 2 yearling cocks on the long distance and that tastes like more for the coming seasons".
The hens are somewhat compulsorily darkened. "Here right next to us there is a riding school" says Marleen "and especially in the winter period the adjacent arena is fully lit, just like a football field. No need to explain more, surely? The hens are darkened from 19h to 8h until mid-May. Afterwards, they are supplementary lighting until the end of the season, which is from 6am to 11pm.
The hens have the mixtures from the Beyers range on the menu. The basis is the Vandenabeele (low-protein) mixture and as the basketing day approaches, this is gradually replaced by Galaxy Energy. As extras, we then rely on products from the Herbots Animal and Herbovet range such as Brewer's yeast (B.M.T.) - 4 Oils - Proteins (Pro-Recup) - and so on...
On the medical front, we have full confidence in vet Raf Herbots. His guidance schedule in terms of vaccinations and cures is followed very strictly. Twice a year we sit in his waiting room and for the rest there is a lot of telephone contact. Against trichomoniasis, the well-known yellow drops go over the feed every week on Monday and Tuesday.

Marleen continues: "As you can read, many fanciers are successful with our pigeons but I would like to put one fancier in the spotlight and that is Ines Stessens, a youth player from our club. She has "20-735" which became 1° Ace pigeon Fondclub Turnhout and 2° Ace pigeon youth club Antwerpen '22 Fond. "735-20" comes from Elfje line.
Marleen and Jan would like to say a final word of thanks to Nance - Bart Van Oeckel and their caretaker Kjenten. True friends for years and both of us are successful with each other's pigeons. That's the beauty of pigeon racing. Giving each other success
