Congratulations to Stuart Inett who wins 1st Federation with a yearling blue hen that Stuart bred from a son of our great cock ‘Granger’ (Son of Rocket ,Van Gastel). Mother is a mixture of Stuarts top winning Drum,Hannibal and Mr Clean bloodlines.

Deans winner was bred by ourselves from our great cock ‘Amadeus’ (Direct son of Di Caprio of Van Dyck) when coupled to ‘Manon’ bred by Johan Donkers from his ‘Oude Asduif’. In fact a full sister to Deans winner also bred Mick and Paula Betts 3rd Midlands National Young Bird winner in 2016…
