The top racing season of Combination Ebben

Boven-Leeuwen: Who doesn't know him...Falco Ebben...for years a successful pigeon photographer and also a talented pigeon fancier. Falco proved this again last racing season by winning 1st national Ruffec against 9,998 pigeons. But it does not stop there, because his winner was also the fastest of all pigeons that were released that weekend on national sector level and then we are talking about no less than 23,855 pigeons.
Since 2020 Falco started in the garden of his own house and on 2 seasons he already put top performances on paper. He was already honoured as 2nd champion unranked day long distance Northern Union (Division 7 to 11) and 2nd national champion unranked speed. 
Just to clarify. Falco forms on his own loft in Boven-Leeuwen as well as on the loft in Beneden-Leeuwen a combination with his uncle Will. In Boven-Leeuwen Falco is assisted with the daily care by his daughter Renée. The basis on both lofts is the same and then we are talking about the famous Ad Schaerlaeckens pigeons.

High lights last 5 racing seasons (exclusive on the loft of Comb. Ebben, since 2020 also old birds are raced)

Own mixture
Falco says: "Our basic mixture is a fairly heavy mixture made at Vanrobaeys, which has been commercially available since this year (Ebben Special number 3910).
In winter, we feed this mixture with 50% paddy. In the racing season, I basically feed very light and the basic mixture is lightened with paddy. Many fanciers make the mistake of feeding too heavy. The last three or four feedings and at homecoming, heavy feed is on the menu. I always stop feeding until the pigeons leave some. I also always feed my pigeons a few hours before basketing'. 'We basically give very few by-products! Grit, limestone, redstone, minerals (pink powder). In addition, condition powder from Marien. I moisten the feed with Zell Oxygen or Daflor. Once a month with Marien's syrup. Nothing else! After the race, I do not disinfect and the pigeons are always given pure water. When they return home, however, minerals are mixed over the feed. "
