Jansen distance

[Guest Hjaltland]

Any members have info on distance Jansen based strains, who has them, who does well with them, what distance do they win out to etc?

most Jansen familys i know of are sprinters , however i do have a son off 2nd fed Bourge 500+ miles Y.M.R Fed   which is Jansen

like all family's some will do the distance but you'd be better looking for a distance family. IMO

Yes I thought they were primarily sprinters  but some years ago I had a Jansen cock who's family did well at 500 miles.. he crossed well with my family and gave great returns> I've no idea of details of his origins but they were a medium sized bird which muscled out nicely - I supposed you would call them apple bodied.

I know.. my own birds are Jan Arden Van Hee Stichs.. but the cross with the jansens gave great returns whilst the distance birds didnt  :-/

Try the Klak's Hjatland, have won with them up to Bourges. They are a great cross for distance birds and provide beauty aswell as putting a bit of speed into them!
