Endflight, my late grandfather , Donnelly Brothers [Dundee] had a Blue Ch Hen bred out of your fathers Charlie Cock via Joe Zaccarinni [Dundee]. This hen was bred in the 50s and produced a winner every season in her 12 years. Donnelly Brothers retired from the sport in 1976 and many of the final team of birds could be traced back to the A.B.King hen.
