A portion of travel strokes ....

Dirk van Dyck

In 1993 Herman Jespers went with pigeons of different punches letter pigeon sport Start. Later pigeons from Sylvain Vandevelde from Holsbeek and Yschol-Janssen came from Houwaart it.
In 2003, he met none other than Dirk Van Dyck from Zandhoven and from then on everything changed. None other than the progenitor of the strike, the "Kleine Dirk" B03 / 6086339, A grandson of the "Bourges" by Van Dyck, of the 2nd National Bourges against 40,401 pigeons flew himself, came to the beat to Holsbeek. Incidentally, the "Bourges" a direct brother of the world famous "Kannibaal".

In 2005, we also looked over the Belgian borders and were successful in Ad Schaerlaeckens in Baarle-Nassau Netherlands. They got there the pigeons even more speed in the master brought. In 2010 some pigeons were brought from Dentergem at Gaby Vandenabeele who successfully smashing also.

But the hit they landed with the "Kleine Dirk", Of the "Kleine Dirk" was coupled with „Fleur BE05-2266436“Which was brought as an egg of Ad Schaerlaeckens and came from a son of 'Ace Four' and a female of Gust Jansen in Beerse.

The "Kleine Dirk" and "Fleur" were the golden breeding pair of blow-Jespers Vanderwegen.

To win children and grandchildren of the "Kleine Dirk" yet less than impressive 71 Top 100 awards and 19 placings in the top 10 – all on national flights.

"In general, we can say that in all of our successful pigeons shot Dirk Van Dyck blood sitting," said Herman Jespers!

Travel team old birds

The old birds are played after the total widowhood. There are 24 widower cells on the travel stroke. 24 birds and 30 females be part of the traveling 2016th

Herman and Johny find that the best results are obtained with this system by the females.

The pigeons are not bred in winter. You can enjoy the winter sun in the aviary from the blows quietly. The pigeons are not paired before the racing season! Before each competitive flight, the sliding door between the compartments is on and the couple looking to the partners themselves and once the National flights begin, most couples have found each other. To fly the pigeons to Bourges II. In the week to Bourges II the pigeons are paired and then the last National flights are only the females disputed by Nest. This works great because the results are extremely good.

Young pigeons fly to the sliding method

Both of the first and from the second round of youngsters each 70 pieces invariably be from the breeders keep are sold with about 22 days, and males and females come together in one fell swoop. After the first medium-haul flights the sexes are separated, and it is started with the "sliding door" method. The youngsters are darkened from mid-February to 21 June 17 to 8 pm and thereafter exposed to the end of the season.
By private training is started as soon as the youngsters leave.

"In 2015, this was the end of May", so both breeders, "it was actually a little too late". Four times it went to 35 km and with the Association to Momignies, Soissons, Sourdun and then to the National flights.
If necessary, some youngsters are also Wednesdays played, but not every week. During the racing season is not looking for additional motivation. On the blows of the males, on which the couple come together before basketing, widowhood cells are built. The females sitting during the week on perches.
When basketing males and females come together for an hour.

"We have learned that the health of the pigeons is the most important thing. This is the secret after we probably all looking for. ", The two masters from Holsbeek.

The impact of young pigeons ...

"Super Rick"

The female B15 / 2000253 "Super Rick" wurde 1. Nat. AS Taube Grote Halve Fond bei den Jungtauben 2015. Sie wurde gezüchtet aus dem “Ronaldo”, Linie “Bliksem” von Gaby Vandenabeele x der “Tania”, Tochter des “Kleine Dirk” x “Kweekduivin”. In ihrer kurzen Karriere flog sie den 4. prov. Issoudun gegen 1213 Tauben, 141. nat. Bourges gegen 36.307 Tauben, 56. nat. Argenton gegen 11.223 Tauben, 16. La Souterraine nat. ZB gegen 1.633 Tauben und holte damit den nationalen AS-Tauben Titel.

"" Super Ricka "was a small blue females. She had glossy, highly pigmented eye and had a wide influence. She was very tame and had silky plumage. But they also had an error (?). In her hand she held her tail up, a behavior that many breeders do not like to see.

The disaster flight from Chateauroux was her last flight, because she did not want to come home. So she got her AS-pigeon title quasi posthumously. "So tell Herman and Johnny also sad track record of national AS-pigeon" Super Ricka ".

Feeding

The pigeons for the middle distance are played every week and will only once a day mit einer Ration von 500g für 20 Tauben gefüttert ! Bei der Ankunft am Samstag erhalten sie sehr energiereiches Futter und über das Trinkwasser “Recovery” von J. Koehoorn. Am Sonntag bekommen die Tauben 50% eiweissarmes Futter , 50% Flugmischung und nochmals “Recovery” ins Trinkwasser. Am Montag und Dienstag wird 100% eiweissarmes Futter gefüttert und in die Tränke kommt “Avidres” von Röhnfried. Ab Mittwoch wird zu 100% Flugmischung gefüttert und über die Tränke Flugvitamine gegeben. Am Donnerstag ist wieder bereits Einsatztag und es wird ausnahmsweise zweimal gefüttert. Morgens 100% Flugmischung und nachmittags energiereiches Futter zu 100%. Mineralien werden täglich frisch verabreicht. Darüber hinaus etliche Naturprodukte.

Medical supply

Before the breeding season all pigeons are treated against trichomoniasis. The youngsters are but gekurt also at the beginning of the racing season against cancer and against coccidia. is vaccinated against paramyxovirus and smallpox. While the races are be every week the vet Guy Mertens visited from Herselt and it will proceed exactly according to its instructions.

"With regard to diseases of the upper airways of impact plays an important role and as the blows here in Holsbeek are very well usually has against respiratory diseases not treated." Said Herman Jespers.

The motto here is "as little medicine as possible".

The wife of Herman Jespers operates a store for 'natural products' and therefore perhaps stirred their dislike of drugs (only if there is no alternative, and on the advice of a veterinarian) and the multiple use of natural products such as brewer's yeast, garlic, yogurt, elderberry juice, apple cider vinegar , milk powder and more.
However, 3 to 4 times a week "black eye drops", where, in any case, when inserting and when returning from the air race. If the drops move immediately something is wrong with the tear duct. These eye drops are also very good for the prevention and treatment of swollen eyes.

Shock and Hygiene

The old and the young birds each have an approximately 10 m long garden blow available. The blows are 30 cm above the ground. Before the actual shock is a walkway. About this gear is a one meter wide vent, which is controllable. The youngsters in shock front is also a vent. For young and old birds an automatic extraction system is installed before the Nistzellen.
Each year, the entire interior will be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Otherwise, the shots are only once a week, then when the pigeons are basketed, cleaned. Each beat has two drinking vessels which are alternately either in shock or for drying.

"Ronaldo" and "Tania"

On the breeding loft sitting 36 breeding pairs. In principle is not grown in Relatives breeding. An exception is the pairing of half brother 'Kleine Dirk' x half sister "Kleine Dirk" to stay in the line of success.
The currently probably the best breeding pair is "Ronaldo” x “Tania”. The connection "Ronaldo" with the "500 Duivin" is absolutely top notch. "Ronaldo" with "Tania" are the parents of "Super Ricka", the 1st National AS-pigeon middle distance Grote Jonge Duiven, 2015.
But also "Remy" x "Petite Fleur" are an extraordinary connection. They are parents of 1 AS-pigeon in "Demer en Dijle" and the 2. AS-pigeon Brabantse Unie for a separate strike comrades.

But the success story in 2016 has been going on. So we received at the time of printing of this paper the news that Jespers-Vanderwegen brought the provincial victory from Blois against 1,680 old birds and also the fastest pigeon of the total 3,610 at this Blois Flight participating pigeons in Flemish Brabant presented.
