Some of our first arrivals from Melun have finished their season, while the rest will participate one more time in the final race of the national season, Chateauroux (526km).
Meanwhile, the National Argenton (552km) race, which was postponed to Sunday, saw a significant shift in conditions, turning it into a very fast race. We entered six old hens, all of whom were nearly moulting, and this would be their final race of the season. Our first two nominated birds were also our first two arrivals, with our team kicking off the race with a 47° National Chateauroux (526km) against 1,787 birds. This bird is a promising granddaughter of “Mustang Queen” (BE19-6016108) and “Samsung” (BE15-6026082).
