I'm John Redfern, owner of one of the best teams of Verheyen Hofkens racing pigeons anywhere in the world.
In 1994 I introduced two Bert Braspenning Janssen pigeons into my lofts. These pigeons were an instant success winning many 1st prizes at Club and Fed level. In 2001, I added my first Hofkens stock hen, who bred my 3rd Open National Winner from Tours.
My Hofkens racing pigeons are bred from the original Hofkens imported into the UK in 1986 have a look at the original pedigrees these quality pigeons have produced winner after winner.
Don't take my word for it, take a look at my Results page, as you can see my top class racing pigeons perform consistently in races again and again.
