Simply fabulous results at national level! This is really only possible with very good pigeons and we must not forget that Anthony and his wife Chantal do all this with only a small stock. Many other fanciers are also successful with their pigeons. Anthony and Chantal have mastered the system of total widowhood like no other. They made this decision so they would have fewer "useless" pigeons. Chantal uses her time to take care of the traveling crew. The females are basketed every week while the widowers are regularly given a week's rest.

Before the season, from mid-February to the end of March, the pigeons get "Hexenbier" every day. This shows that the pigeons get into a natural basic condition, pink breast meat, silky soft plumage and white noses. After the race, the pigeons receive Avipharm and Mumm. This is the ideal combination so that the pigeons can recover well. A very important aspect for Chantal is that they get fresh grit every day. To do this, she mixes different varieties, such as grit with aniseed, but also the travel mineral and top fit with some seeds. The pigeons know and love it. When Chantal comes with her "grit bucket", the pigeons know and are happy. It ensures good digestion and dry feces. To improve the condition, Gervit-W and Rotosal are used. Chantal prefers to administer everything via the drinking water. Both are very satisfied with the products from Röhnfried, because they help the pigeons to stay fit and healthy.
