Schaekels – De Loecker from Lennik win 3 x 1st Provincial in 3 weeks

23 Jun 2023

We urgently had to visit the tandem Schaekels – De Loecker from Lennik in Brussels. They have achieved a nice series in the province of Flemish Brabant from Bourges, Blois and Vierzon and always start with the fastest pigeon from the province. Super class that is getting even better every year. For Rudi and Mathijs, this is a signal that they are busy charting the right path for their careers.

Season 2023 so far

1st Brabant Union Vierzon 1,874 yearlings ( fastest of 3,008 pigeons )
1st + 2nd Brabant Union Blois 1,716 yearlings ( 2nd fastest of 2,935 pigeons )
1st Provincial Bourges 2,457 yearlings ( fastest of 5,016 pigeons )
1st National (z) Bourges 3,097 yearlings ( fastest of 6,014 pigeons in zone B2 )

Vierzon Br.Unie 1,874 yearlings : 1,5,16,35,71,81,116,117,… 14/19
Blois Br.Unie 1,219 old : 11,20,22,80,83,… 6/6
Blois Br.Unie 1,716 yearlings : 1,2,4,5,8,14,31,… 18/21
Bourges Prov 2,569 old : 4,11,12,23,34,37,42,73,183,185,… 16/16
Bourges Prov 2,457 yearlings : 1,18,14,166,172,182,184,… 11/13

Flying team

They race with cocks and hens, the best cocks are raced in classic widowhood while the rest of the widowers are raced in total widowhood. The hens were darkened from March 15 to April 15, while the cocks were not darkened.

Only the loft of total widowhood was allowed to have youngsters in the spring, while the other pigeons did not do winter breeding, but were simply allowed to brood over. They were coupled +- at the end of February.The new thing about their system is that the widowers live in an aviary behind the racing lofts, where they can sit in peace and quiet out of the wind, sun and noise. They just sit here on chapels and pass by their racing loft twice a day. 

The first time to let them out through a hatch along their pen and the second time when they come in after training. But they are always fed in the run during the week, so they don't really stay in the loft or dawdle. We don't know if this is the right motivation because we now have a warm summer so this system may be very good, but with a humid and bad summer it may be bad. But as long as the results are as they are now, we will not change anything. The hens also stay in an aviary during the day, but this is then located at the front of the lofts. In the evening they can simply move to their resting pen and that's it.

Both groups train once a day, the hens normally always in the morning and the widowers in the evening. Only on very hot days do we switch to the rhythm of having all pigeons trained in the morning.When basketing, their system is even easier, all pigeons are picked up in the aviaries and go into the basket without motivation at that moment. Perhaps this extra stimulation ensures that they spend little time in the breeding loft and therefore want to fly home faster. When they come home they can always stay together for 3 to 4 hours.Most of the pigeons here are all provided for the heavy middle distance and long distance races, if they do fly a shorter race in between, this will be Noyon.

In terms of nutrition, we use the Beyers Premium mixtures and also their products. Especially Royal Jelly, Bioflorum, Energy Oil with conditioning powder and Recovery are the main products we use from them. In the field of tricho we have an annual check-up with Dr. Bjorn Geeroms and the racing pigeons were treated before the racing season and use the yellow drops every 3 to 4 weeks, but certainly not every week. We also gave 2 days of Head / Intestine from our vet on his advice, which we usually repeat once the season has progressed well.
