I am Dieks ter Harmsel.
I am a member of 'De Reisduif'
A club in Rijssen.
One of three.
This is my loft.
My racing loft.
That's the section of my racing hens.
That's the section of the hens that stay home.
Then I have two sections here…
For the youngsters.
About 50.
And here is...
Two lofts for my widowers.
But in that section are 6 breeding cocks, so only 2 widowers.
And in the last section 12 widowers are housed.
So, 12 + 12 = 24 + 2 = 26 widowers.
And in the beginning I race with 20 hens, later with about 10.
When they start to mate with each other...
I need to move some to the section with the hens I do not race.
That's about it.
Here we are in the loft of my widowhood hens, a part is for the fall races.
Not all of them, the best ones will stay at home for 2018.
The ones I race. The ones I did not race so far are for the fall races.
And often it goes very well.
The ones which did not race the whole season are often better in the fall races.
They are more motivated.
The winner of Bergerac was in this loft too.
Only, I have two sections for the hens here.
One for the hens I race and one for the hens I do not race.
The winner of Bergerac has been raced the whole season.
But not every week.
Mostly every other week.
Because I wanted to test her on the overnight marathon.
Apparently it worked well!
She did not stay out overnight.
She did it in one day.
In fact, half a day.
That worked well.
For all we know it went wrong.
Racing hen is nice. You can see, it is a simple loft.
I am not going to lock them up.
When two hens mate with each other...
… then one will be moved to the section of the hens that stay at home.
And sometimes they lay an egg… so be it.
This is one section of my widowers.
I'll mate them at the end of december.
From the best pairs I move the eggs to feeders.
And then I seperate the best pigeons again.
And after a week I pair them up again with different partners.
And then I have 4 youngsters of my best racers.
With two different partners.
That's the way I do it.
I seperate the pigeons when they are on big youngsters.
In my youngbird loft.
And the 2nd group will be weaned in a different loft.
That's a few weeks later.
And then when the youngsters can eat the hens are moved to their own section.
Just before we start to race I mate them again. The first race is on fresh eggs.
Preferably eggs which are a few days old.
Then you can race the first two weeks on the nest.
And that works pretty well.
And then I put them on widowhood.
In that week the results are less.
And then they will perform again.
You have to take that for granted.
Or, I did that before...
Have to pair one loft 14 days earlier than the other loft.
Then you spread the groups.
But usually it works well the way I do it now.
The winning hen is also in this loft.
But just recently.
I paired her about 12 days before basketing with her cock.
About 4 days before basketing she laid eggs.
That made her motivated.
And then I basketed her, with her cock.
Her cock arrived on Sunday, but I do not clock birds on Sundays.
So he was too late, and she just in time.
In the evening before 11 p.m.
It goes pretty well
In the morning I give them free training for about 30 to 45 minutes.
In the evening as well, but then I take the hen from the nest for a mandatory training.
It does not matter she was the only hen here.
The cocks didn't need to be basketed anymore.
So it suited me very well.
When you need to race the widowers as well…
I don't think that's right.
But you never know.
But then you mostly have only one good result and then it's over.
This is the box from the winning hen and her cock.
They are on fresh eggs.
I entered her and thought…
Would I win a decent prize? I did not expect much from her.
To my surprise she arrived Saturday evening.
And just in time, before 11 p.m.
Because we don't clock birds after 11 p.m. and on Sundays.
We are principle fanciers here.
Most of us in Rijssen.
Then it's done.
I was lucky...
I was the only fancier who clocked a pigeon in Rijssen that Saturday.
The winner…
Is a daughter to the 37.
One of the best pigeons I ever had.
I still have her, but she's old
Nine years.
The father is 7 years old.
He was very good at the one day long distance.
His mother…
Won at the middle distance in our section, I still remember it…
Three weeks in a row at the top, in the 990 points.
Three times very early.
Not a first prize in our section, but she won a 2nd though.
They can win early prizes. That's important.
I did not expect this result on the overnight marathon.
Really not.
I did not achieve good results in the last years on that discipline.
I used to have very good pigeons for the marathon.
But when my son participated in the partnership with the pigeons…
he wanted to quit with the marathon, waiting took too long for him.
Then I sold them.
I still regret it.
It happened.
Since then the results were pretty bad.
Now I am lucky for once.
That's the way I see it.
I had double luck, because I noticed her when I locked the door.
I did not even have my clock turned on.
I could have been in my bed as well.
When the word spread I really enjoyed it.
Within 30 minutes all my pigeon friends were in my kitchen to celebrate.
All clubmembers.
Came to congratulate me.
