Schroyen – Stockmans (Heusden-Zolder) is a colony of several national ace pigeons in the all-round field

02 Nov 2024

In the 2022 season, these two top colonies formed a new duo. This was accompanied by a sale of the old base of the colonies of Ferdinand Schroyen and Ivan Stockmans. Three seasons ago they made a new start and one breeding loft was formed where they only race at the Ferdinand Schroyen home under the name Schroyen – Stockmans. 

This new start didn't do them any harm because they were successful in 2022 with 2x 1st provincial and several national and provincial ace pigeons. This was also the case in 2023 and in 2024 they continued with this momentum. 

The old basis continues to ensure success here, which on Ferdinand's part consists of super breeder "Pokkeman" and the pigeons of Jules Lens that did very well here, together with the national ace pigeons "Diva Belgica" and "Bella Belgica" who both won 1st National Ace Pigeon. middle distance youngsters became KBDB. The contribution from Ivan's side is mainly with brothers and sisters of his national winners that he has achieved in the past thanks to the blood of his super breeder, which mainly contains the line of “Het Donker Wonder” from Rene Sterckx, which is crossed here. was with the line from “Kannibaal” by Dirk Van Dijck. In recent years it has mainly been decided to follow the input of the “Harry” pigeons from Jan Hooymans, which has been a bull's eye here, 2 pigeons were purchased and both are doing fantastic in the breeding loft. 

For the first time, this colony is holding an online auction via our website www.herbots.be from their very best racers and breeders, which you can find here.
