Update:

1st Long Distance Race of the Year Châteaudun Under Tough Conditions

Today marked the first long-distance race of the year from Châteaudun, and the conditions immediately turned into a real challenge for our top pigeons. With the temperatures rising quickly, it became a demanding race where strength, character, and endurance made all the difference.

Leading the team home was a truly impressive hen: Hurricane Indy NL23-9101349NL23-9101349. She won the 1. Prize against 2.759 pigeons from 564km. A pigeon that our loft manager Michal always strongly believed in, and today she fully proved why. Hurricane Indy is a daughter of the outstanding breeder Hurricane Hans"Hurricane Hans", a bloodline that continues to deliver exceptional performances.

Michal has already enjoyed great success with daughters from this top breeder before. A perfect example is Hurricane Hannah NL24-8208193NL24-8208193, winner of 1. Provincial Ace Pigeon Long Distance Department 8 2025. Once again, the Hurricane line shows its enormous class and consistency at the highest level.

What was especially remarkable today was that after Hurricane Indy, the cocks started arriving first in quick succession. Under such heavy and warm conditions, that says a lot about the strength and motivation within the team.

A difficult opening long-distance race, but once again our pigeons showed their quality and fighting spirit. We are proud of this performance and excited for what the rest of the season may bring.

Here you can check the arrivals of the pigeons for Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp (564 km) and Eijerkamp-Paalman (580 km) for the first One-Day Long-Distance race of 2026.
