Daan Rego from Wijer wins 1st Provincial Sens 9,487 birds

17 May 2024

No less than ten years ago we visited the Daan Rego colony from Wijer in Limburg for the first time. Now 10 years later, he has had a top 2023 season and the 2024 team is back on track. With 3 regional victories, they are once again a few winners richer and he immediately strikes in the first provincial flight of the season. His yearling widower wins the 1st Provincial Sens against 9,487 pigeons with a strong headwind. The team achieved a fantastic result and both this winner and the other regional winner are linked to “Djiefke”. This is the pigeon for which we visited 10 years ago, when he won 1st Provincial Gien against 7,916 pigeons. There are several descendants of this top pigeon in the breeding loft who provide fantastic results.

Racing team on total widowhood

The racing team is largely raced in total widowhood, but there are more hens than cocks, which means that some of the cocks stay at home. All racing pigeons have raised a round of youngsters in the winter, so they are permanently paired. If there are losses during the season, those pigeons are then paired again with another cock or breeding cock that joins the team to keep each pigeon motivated. It is taken into account that the partner will find a new partner at approximately the same height and place in the loft.

In their preparation the pigeons flew 2x Mettet, 3 x Chimay and 1x Laon. In between, the pigeons were kept at home for one weekend due to bad weather and the sexes were not allowed to see each other. The pigeons were not taken away extra that week, only they were allowed to train all week, which also means every day during the weekend to keep them moving.

In terms of training, the pigeons do this once a day and they complete the hour quickly. Now that the middle distance is underway, the hens train on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The cocks can sometimes come out on Thursday morning, but the hens cannot.

Pigeons never come together on the speed flights before basketing, because Laon had come super well the week before, we did not let them together at Sens yet. The season is still long to fuel motivation. When they return home, the pigeons first go together in the hallway where they can drink. After half the team returns home, they are then placed per loft and per couple so that they do not mourn in the box or fight with another couple as their partner. isn't home yet. After the flight they always stay together until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If they return home later, they stay together until the early evening.
