ANDRE CLEMENS - Kortenaken (BE)

 

Andre, a little way back from before ... Just to show that there are champions at all times and in the shortest time again stand. And how? If you play a season 26 first prizes of sprint till the middle distance, then you are beyond ordinary ...

A beautiful spring day between the fruit blossoms gave us strength and inspiration for a good conversation.

Breeding Period

Andre "As with everyone right? In late November, early December, the paired birds. I keep it simple and let nature take its course. Nothing shift or cross ... they lay, hatch their eggs and spend their young ... Important! Take care of your breeding pigeons - or hutch well not only in health but also pays well in the breeding characteristics, so be strict. They are, in the first place the foundation of your loft. A flock of pigeons which I've played that stays together until I find "done" Then ... who was re-pegged, just like I do with the others. "And your breeding strategy? "My old base is crossed with pigeons. These are the last two years by order of Maurice and Ivan Van Der Smissen (Rummen), Omer Coeckelberghs (sort Benny Ward) from Binkom, Fam. Herbots (Halle Booienhoven) Laere and Wim Moens from Aspe. Here too the rule, search and keep searching for the better ... or preferably the best (laughs). "

 

Youngsters

Andre: "Only the first round in a big loft. There is nothing left afterwards buried, that's too much misery and will still lose with it. They are darkened, did not do what I used from March to mid-June. I start pretty quickly with opleren, today (Friday, 23/04/1910) I have them already for the second time worn. The families stay together until after the third flight Momignies and then the sliding door. This goes for about 1 hour basketing open. Already formed pairs or know where to crawl, they have their plaatske ... After the fifth trip I make a statement. He or she who already showed Momignies remain, the others continue. I repeat this on Soissons and the survivors fly the middle distance, this is my way of selecting. This way I care where the pigeons away them like a glove. One runner is best at the 400m on another 5km. That's true with pigeons, I think. The youngsters every week (a total of 14-15 times) key basket. The better young hens going into farming. Young cocks are selected to be played as a yearling. Again, the line "strict but fair". I should add that I season my son 2x a week may receive up to Gembloux (+ - 40 km). After a bad race, I think, is certainly an additional stimulus. "

Widowers

Andre: "Only the old cocks do the winter breeding. Future yearlings (at that time in their birth) have a season this year and are being asked to moult. They are thus spared from growing. If the season is about to arrive, the hens for 4 days in the lofts placed and widowers trained. It is during that day to 2x daily behavior. In this way, the yearlings through the game quickly. Also listed as a widower with the program that she had as a youngster to finish, each ie its distance. When everyone goes right basketing of the pen (ditto for the guy) ... pigeons that come in the evening in the basket must be a quiet place in the patattenkot-put. I spray them before I do, to the local water departure. "

 

 

 

Medical

Andre: "Never exaggerate with medication, I mean, do not exceed the designated size. Over the years I have developed my own systeemke. Divide that into three weeks, one week the pigeons something against trichomoniasis, especially Tricho Plus, week 2 and week 3 against coccidiosis is Respidox (*) to clean the heads turn. I give all that week 2 days for young and old. Also every Saturday morning antiseptic eye drops, these black Jenette drops. "

How do you treat such as adeno-or young pigeon disease? "I used a product of the local apotkeker called Semix. A product that he himself put together but no banned substances! Be reassured, I got all control when I administered to the season. "

(*) Respidox (2.5 scoops / 1.5 kg feed) in order to put the cups clean.
