Hendriks Jo and Florian The class of the Hendriks pigeons is worldwide more than appreciated

Nijswiller: Every time we write a report about Jo and Florian Hendriks, we are always impressed how strong these fanciers perform year after year - and this for several decades. 

Even more remarkable is that the basis of this colony is so strong that it continues to give top pigeons even in several generations. No wonder that fanciers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other countries worldwide are more than pleased with the class of Hendriks pigeons. They cross so easily and always give an extra boost. 

In 2023, Jo and Florian were not only allowed to represent their country at the Olympiad in Maastricht but were also honored as winners of the National One-Day Fund Mirror (Cat. 2). Knowing that they then started the long distance season with only 12 widowers, that is more than a bang performance

Also in 2024 the Hendriks pigeons did not let themselves be drummed into the corner. See further in the report where you can enjoy unique performances just like us:
