Schroyen - Henderix from Heusden-Zolder shine again with the 1st National Ace bird Middle Distance Youngsters KBDB 2019
17 Feb 2020
Who manages to win 2x the 1st National Ace bird within 4 season is someone who has to have a top colony. We already knew that they had top quality on their loft but the past few years the results went up even more. We are talking about the tandem Schroyen – Henderix from Heusden-Zolder, a city in the province of Limburg. He doesn’t race a lot of pigeons, but that he has good ones is obvious. Fernand is a guy that likes to race a lot, from the beginning of the season until the end and preferably on different races so he can compete to win. When the motivation is gone I will quit, but you can be sure, it is still present as he wasn’t satisfied about the season in 2019 at all. With 3 national ace bird over 3 different categories you have to be more then satisfied but the one thing he dreams about is that 1st spot. A provincial victory is something he was very close to a few times past season but this would have been his icing on the cake.

A small colony takes care of big successes .
Only 14 widow cocks and 16 hens are flying around over here during the season, this together with about 60 youngsters. One loft widow cocks is being coupled on the 14th of December, then the eggs hatch around full moon where they believe in without any hesitation. These widow cocks can raise a couple of youngsters of the breeders and then they can stay loose until the next cycle of the full moon. The other loft widow cocks are being coupled at the beginning of March and can raise one youngster and start the season on nest position.
After weening of the first round they start to think about training again, at ease at the beginning but once the month of May the cocks train twice a day. During training it is again starting from zero, meaning that they are being tossed for about 10 to 15 times from 40 to 45 km. After that they race several races from short distance to greater middle distance. But the once that shine on a particular distance is being kept on that discipline.
The rule for the widow cocks is that they can see their hen for about 15 minutes before basketing. After the race they stay together for a few hours depending on how though the race was.
The hens have a slightly different schedule.
The 16 hens are being coupled in 2 series during Winter, the first half raises a couple of youngsters while the second group can only breed for 8 days. After this breeding period they are during day time in an aviary where they stay most of the time unless they get into the resting loft where they have small chapels to sit on. This is especially done for the coming race when you want your pigeons to get more warmth during the night-time. The difference with the cocks is that these hens only train once a day but this can be a very hard training, one and a half hour is more rule then exception.
The thing it is all about is to basket the hens quietly. Because my system is built up so that I can do my ‘thing’ only as from the middle distance races, I have to keep them calm in April. When they get home, the hens stay with their partners as from the short distance races until the middle distance races or afterwards also the greater middle distance. The pigeons that need to basketed on Thursday can train a bit in the morning and can stay for a small hour with their cock when they come in. The pigeons that are being basketed on Friday don’t get to see anything on Friday anymore.

System youngsters
Out of the group of 60 youngsters there will be immediately 8 young cocks taken out that will be raced on widowhood with old hens. Only these once aren’t being darkened while the other are from the 1st of March until the 25th of June from 16h30 to 8 in the morning. Then they will be enlightened until the last day of the season.
After weening they will be place first in a large box with open wires so they know their home. Then they can sit on the roof of the loft but can’t take off, when the 1st and 2nd round come out together this box will be taken away.
Then the discipline starts, letting them out shortly, call them in quickly so they get the listening entirely trained quick. In a matter of training, they also train twice a day but 30 to 45 minutes is often enough for them.
The 8 young cocks are especially there to race the short distance races while the others will be raced as from the end of June on sliding doors until the end of the season. These can mostly come together on Thursday morning with carton boxes so it gets really cosy on the loft.
The main goal for the youngsters is Bourges National, those who survive this race are the ones you can take to the war.

Guidance
The racing pigeons get after the season a moulting mixtures until their 10th pin is up. After wards he changes onto barley as it is a resting period then until the breeding period starts. I use the entire year the Beyers mixtures and especially the Galaxy Light.
So the racing pigeons get at the beginning of the week Galaxy Light that is being mixed with super diet and at the end of the week the super diet is being replaced by corn. Everyday a small portion of fatty seeds are being given after every training.
The youngsters don’t get any food on the 1st day of weening, the 2nd day they have to learn to eat corn with chopped up walnuts and only from the 3rd day on they will get a breeding mixture. When they start to loose small feathers there will be a portion of barley being mixed under their food.
In a matter of guidance he believes very strong in Sedochol which is being given a lot together with brewers’ yeast. At arrival they always get Belgasol from Belgica – De Weerd.
The youngsters get vaccinations against paramyxo, small pocks and herpes under the super vision of Karlo Van Rompaey. The racing pigeons are mostly being treated once a year against tricho during breeding in the winter and get afterwards on a weekly base a yellow drop in the beak at basketing. It is possible that the youngsters get another cure before the season starts off or when the results aren’t good off course.
