In gesprek met Team de Reuth: "De wind moet goed zijn, dan kunnen we mee"

In this NADOEN! special, we speak with Dave Janse of Team de Reuth from Baarle-Nassau, winner of week 24 of the NADOEN! competition. With an impressive score of 826 points at Melun Andrezel against 13,104 pigeons, the partnership achieved a performance that currently yields the highest weekly score of the season. Dave explains how Team de Reuth came into being, how the successful system using exclusively widow hens is played, and why, in his opinion, simplicity often works better than complicated methods. We also discuss the preparation for the season, the feeding system, training, the selection of young pigeons, and the pedigree of the winning pigeon. An open and honest conversation about performance, motivation, and the quest for success in modern pigeon racing. 🎙️ Enjoy listening! 🔹 Chapters 00:00 Introduction Team de Reuth 01:36 Who is Team de Reuth? 03:21 Arrivals at Melun Andrezel 04:41 Season preparation 05:20 The widow hen system 06:53 Pairing and motivation 07:57 Birds of prey and training approach 08:50 Analysis of the winning NADOEN! score 10:09 The winner's pedigree 11:38 Nutrition and feeding system 13:38 Supplements and medical guidance 15:21 Training and breaking in 18:27 Loft stock and breeding strategy 19:26 Young pigeons and selection 20:59 Middle distance ambitions 22:06 Selection of racing pigeons 25:23 Key lessons and vision 26:24 Looking back at a dream result 27:56 Conclusion 🔹 Support the Pigeon Pixels Podcast Do you find these conversations valuable and would you like to help make more podcasts about pigeon racing possible?
