i was late getting to a top lofts sale, not many birds left , and bought ragged looking blue hen. she went on to win and breed winners and win in the show pen. jan grondalaers i got some more and they were good birds taking combine cards out to 527 mls

[Guest j.bamling]

Terry Lodge of Top Lofts UK bought full rounds from Jan Grondalaers which he later sold to Gerald Delaney,Gerald in turn also had birds from Jan Grondalaers direct but i think neither man obtained Jan Grondalaers stock birds

[onepigeon]

thats what im trying to find out, did jos soontjens use the grondalaers?

[dkj]

i bought the WE cock from Mr Goldsmith, entire clearance sale,of the UNC and it is a Grondalaer, the pigeon won the sea link trophy for the best performance in the NE homing union.  and its breeding winners

[gangster]

i think you find grondela birds are beswd on the old stocces birds

"I" believe a young Jos Thone would cycle to the lofts of Jan Grondalaers to just watch his birds train and on race days watch with many others as they arrived home, believe before jan passed away he became very friendly with the young Mr Thone.

Dont know where they ended up but this will tell you a bit about them

Sid Day had these pigeons many years ago and i think he still has, i believe he flew in one of the Scarborough Clubs then moved into sticks but all his applications to join other clubs were rejected , he used to send to open races with Cayton Bay Invitation ( only as trainners ). These birds were pure class nice handling Blue check / blue bars and i think 2 blacks, loved the wattles they were like doorsteps. He now flys with Cayton Bay Invitation

[just ask me]

felix powells in belguim has best i think he crosess them with jannsens

they were top birds i feel it maybe a strain comming to there end with a few pockets of pll doing well with them i had them years back and had them  just a while ago they wouldent hold into the ones i had years ago

[gangster]

herbot brothers also have them as the backbone of there family

[Guest karl adams]

i have 4 pair which are 08 birds and they were off a man called billy priest would it be better to cross  breed them or pair them together

[gangster]

id pair them together and cross them for the second round you can see whats best
