Danny & Bjorn Knaepen from Nieuwerkerken win 1st Prov Bourges 1,764 yearling pigeons

On the national race from Bourges, the provincial victory in Limburg was for the colony of Danny & Bjorn Knaepen. They won the 1st Provincial Bourges 1,764 yearlings with a yearling cock that comes directly from the Herbots family. A boost for this colony that can always hold its own on the national flights.

System

The game with widowers is the classic widowhood, the racing team consists of 36 pigeons that are divided over 2 lofts. These were coupled at the beginning of January and were allowed to raise a nest of youngsters. After breeding, the training was resumed and here that is 1x per day, always in the evening. Only in very warm weather do they train at 6:00 in the morning. The pigeons will never be basketed here at the beginning of April, we always start a bit later. Up until now, they flew 5x speed, 2x middle distance and then they were given a week's rest. Cocks are allowed to rest now and then and so they went to Bourges with the known result. This was their first national flight of the season.

1 + 23 Provincial Bourges 1,766 yearlings 
5 ​​+ 6 Provincial Bourges 1,314 old

In terms of nutrition we use the Aidi mixtures and medically we try to purify the pigeons for the season and then leave them alone as much as possible. They only get the yellow drop on Sunday.
