Peckedhen Posted March 16, 2006 Report Posted March 16, 2006 Does anyone race Van Theelans? How do they do? A friend has just started breeding from a pair I bought for him on an auction. Quite small birds but look good.

NANCYVIEWLOFTS Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 hi pecked hen from what i have heard about the jan theelans they are distance birds the ones i handled were small to medium with a very supple wing ideal for the distancethe ones i handled were from mr strain from ireland
Peckedhen Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks guys. The ones I bought were from Mr and Mrs Clare. May be that they just look small compared to my Logans! :
jimmy_bulger Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 hi pecked hen. you will find with the dutch marathon birds that they are a bit smaller than the norm but then again good stuff comes in little packets. try doing a search on yahoo for jan theelan you will be surprised at what is the base of them.. yours in the sport jimmy.
