Jean-François Folie, La Hulpe BE

Dear Xavier en Jos, a message to say that we are succeeding with your pigeons. Because of the weather we started carefully with the yearlings. Also because they are from May and have only flown Laon (130 km) twice as young pigeons. And yesterday Momignies 3-5-5-10-11 against 143 pigeons. 3=son Kai x Sister Tiko 355-22. This pigeon has already won 3 prizes in 3 competitions / 5-5 = 2 nest brothers, sons of Kajo 108-19 / 10=son Eze x Sachi 961-22 / 11=son Galaxus x Marina 602-22. So 5 nice prizes with 6 pigeons Thoné 50%. Now they're going to move on. Greetings
