Topresults worldwide with Eijerkamp pigeons in One Loft Races (Part 1) Outstanding results in Egypt, Spain, USA, and South Africa
In this two-part series, we are proud to highlight some remarkable performances achieved with descendants of Eijerkamp pigeons in various One Loft Races (OLRs) around the world. Even in this fast-growing branch of pigeon racing, the Eijerkamp birds and their offspring continue to shine.
Just this past week, during the final of the Derby Aal Nagib, Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp secured 2nd and 4th Ace Pigeon positions out of an original entry of 3,493 pigeons—a performance we will explore in detail later.
Many other fanciers have also risen to the top of OLR results using Eijerkamp bloodlines. Below, we share several standout performances reported to us, featuring references to Hennie Moll (South Africa), David and Anna Clausing (USA), and Valentin Ozam (Germany).
