[DAVIDL]

dont know if ive got the name right but has anyone heard of cyril den doover/dooven (?) birds, they are suposed to originate from belguim and be short to middle distance birds..........and these were bought from a fancier called brian metcalfe.

Cyri Denduiver is the son in law of the ace facier Arsenne Deschact the flew just outside Ostende.Some of the best birds of wall lunt greene etc came from this partnership.Some years ago the partnership had a falling out this despite living next door to each other. The best advocate of these birds is John Danskin mobile no 01912678035

There is a member on here that did have the breed (Chichichi) as i asked for his thoughts on them before i brought them in.

 

Maybe Ant will be able to give a bit more info on them

 

This is the website i looked at some results, pictures from

I have a half share in a daughter of Grey Gem of Curtis, Wall, Lunt and Green and the breeding of Grey Gem is this family.

I thought cyriel was the oldman and deshact was the young man,,

 

we have cyriel denduivers here,, super sprinting birds,, ours only go to 250 miles..

 

we sold our top pair to dublin 2 years ago,, but still have 2 directs here both hens,, 1 has bred a winner this year,,

 

so all ours are sprinters only.. we have sent 4 over the channel and lost them all..

thanks for the help/info, just got a hen but had never heard of them before.......

[chichichi]

very quick birds,, we have had 4 in the past all blues but there are cheq's in the strain,, my mate has a son off the pele,, he was the top banana..

 

best of luck,, we have crossed our hen into a cassart cock and they have bred a winner this year,,

 

my advice would be to send them inland only..

 

enjoy
