HOUBEN FAMILY.. Jef, Luc and Nadia..
The Houben's favourite races were those ranging from 350 to 800 kilometres. The adult pigeons were flown on the widowhood system, which consisted of the following: all the pigeons were mated in November or December, and then the males were separated after the weaning of the first batch of young pigeons and, in April, mated again; only the males took part in the races. The second and third batches of chicks were flown using the dark system. Most of the chicks flew as celibates while the other two categories flew as normal.
The widowers, for example, were trained for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon, allowing them to fly at will around the loft. At the beginning of the season they were put into baskets and trained by gradually increasing distances. The first race took place in mid-April and the first national race in Bourges (480 kilometres) at the end of May. Before this major competition, the birds were trained twice in flights of 110 kilometres, 220 kilometres and 350 kilometres, weather permitting. The young pigeons were also trained twice a day for one hour and then basketed and trained at distances of 1 x 5, 1 x 10, 2 x 20, 2 x 40 and 2 x 60 kilometres. The Houbens trained both in their own loft and at the official clubs.
At the beginning of the season, the adult pigeons were divided into two groups: some raced over distances between 320 and 480 kilometres, others between 480 and 800 kilometres. With the yearlings, a very similar system was used: one group raced over distances between 320 and 480 kilometres, while the others raced over distances between 480 and 640 kilometres. The young pigeons were separated into two groups, males and females, and raced over distances of up to 480 kilometres. Only some of the yearlings were raced up to 640 kilometres. In conclusion, we could say that the Houben lineage has gone down in the history of pigeon racing as one of the lofts that has won the most prizes and, in part, it has been thanks to its most prized pigeon, the Jonge Artist. In almost all the Houben winners and AS of the last few years, you can find his blood in almost all of them. It is arguably this bird that made Houben the icon he is today.
