Nice result at 4th of May, with son “Harry Junior” at first

We do not have to tell you that the spring temperatures remain far away. This ensures that the pigeons with us are not yet optimally in shape, which is also not bad because the focus is only on the one day long distance. Nevertheless, we achieved a most wonderful result from Niergnies last Saturday. Against 15,369 pigeons it became 17-75-77-84-86-89 and of the 125 pigeons, 65 won a prize (52%) of which 31 were 1:10 (25%). The 11th pigeon against 15,369 pigeons (played by Familie Bambacht) was also bred by us from a daughter of “Harry x Alexia” and also the 16th against 15,369 (Team Hooymans NL) comes from a daughter “Harry” so the Hooymans lines were good in the head on this spicy flight with strong northwest wind and showers on the way. Interesting detail is that no less than 8 different fanciers from our club PV de Maasbode are represented in the top 25 of the division against 15,369 pigeons so that shows the strength of our club.

Below our first 40 clocked pigeons:

Our first pigeon was the NL17-1410056 “Son Harry Junior”. Last week he was far too late, but this week he is recovering with a nice top rating. Hopefully he knows his form last season, when he won 4th National Bourges and 1st Provincial Asse Zellik, among others. His father is “Harry Junior” (Harry x Stareye) and his mother is “Daughter Blue Brave”.

What we were happy with was that our hens were also a lot better off than the previous flights and now showed themselves in the head. Our second pigeon NL18 / 495 (from Harry Junior x Yolanthe) is a hen and the third pigeon NL18 / 981 (grandchild Harry and New Harry) is also among the hens.

Our ZLU team had a flight of 190km (Quievrain) for the second time yesterday (May 5) and these also came out extremely short and seem to be in good condition towards the large long distance flights in June. They are still separated now so that it all trains a bit better and does not come so close with the broods and such.
