From the age of twelve, Davy (50) rolled into the pigeon world through his grandfather and two uncles who played with pigeons. He combines his work as a dockworker with his immense passion for the pigeon sport. Until a few years ago, he enjoyed the assistance of Wilfried Rotsaert in caring for the pigeons. However, after Wilfried's death in 2017, Davy largely had to manage on his own. With the help of his daughter Amber, he manages to achieve a series of top performances each year.
Heavy middle distance to heavy long distance
The focus at Verleije is on the heavy middle distance and long distance, but occasionally a heavy long-distance flight is also taken. The bloodlines involved are certainly not insignificant, as the foundation of the colony was built with pigeons from Cocquyt-Verleije, Luc Van Hoeke, Rik Cools, Norman, Gino Clicque, Wilfried Rotsaert, De Buck-Baele, Lanno-Ballegeer, and Wim Boddaert. 25 breeding pairs from these top breeders form a solid anchor. They produce about 130 young pigeons annually. 95 widow pigeons are used in the races on traditional widowhood. The hen is always shown before departure! In addition, some hens are raced among the young pigeons, initially on the nest at the beginning of the season and later on the slide door with the youngsters. These are darkened from March 20 to June 20 and then receive light until the end of the races.
Medical and nutrition
Veterinarian Wim Boddaert monitors the colony, performs the necessary vaccinations, and typically conducts a standard check-up monthly during the racing season. The products from Henk de Weerd also enjoy trust, and before the departure, the pigeons always receive yellow drops in their beaks after two nights in the basket. During the racing season, the pigeons receive their own mix based on Vanrobaeys 29, Vandenabeele mix, Super Condition, and Gerry Plus. Since last year, the feeding has switched to the Versele mixes Superstar Plus and Champion Plus.

Some results from 2023
Davy informs us that no championships were played that season. Nevertheless, a series of top prizes were competed with the offspring of 'De Brive', 'De Vechter', and 'Broere Bond', national winner of La Souterraine. These three lines clearly form the common thread of the colony.
