The Consanguinity - ULTSJE JELLEMA - 1st Northern Union Bergerac against 9,559 Pigeons 2022
The winning hen Lieke NL10-1089919 was basketed on Saturday 26 July at 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and it arrived back home at 12:36 the following afternoon. The pigeons were released with a slight north wind and a temperature of 26 degrees. The winning hen completed 1,023km with a velocity of 1,041 m/min, which makes her one of just 13 pigeons that were able to achieve a velocity of 1,000 m/min or more in the sector.
Lieke was raced from the nest and she was raising a youngster. Últsje tries to keep in line with the natural rhythm of his pigeons as much as possible. For instance, he does not separate a dam from its youngster, and he prefers to basket partners together, to ensure that they can quickly return to their everyday rhythm immediately after the race. It sometimes occurs that a cock raises a youngster himself, while the hen is brooding eggs. “The idea is to apply the nest system as strictly as possible”, Últsje explains.
His pigeons had been especially prepared for Cahors. He did not take his racing birds away for training flights, but he was very meticulous in taking care of his pigeons. One important aspect in this loft is the weighing of the pigeons, which allows him to determine whether or not a pigeon is ready to be basketed. Every pigeon has a target weight, which is about 450 grams for a hen and 500 grams for a cock. Pigeons are weighed one by one using an 8 cm tube that is attached to the scale. The same method is used for scientific research.
Últsje starts to increase the amount of food in the nest boxes on Thursday. “A pigeon that gains enough weight in the lead up to a race, will be ready to be basketed”, Últsje explains. This approach illustrates his expertise and the dedication of the pigeon fanciers from The Netherlands.
