I think Louella crossed them with Black Kruths (spelling).

Have a look at the map it's a fair water jump frpm Faroes to (I think Wales) was where the original Mealy cock raced to.

NO. OF JIMMY'S WAS RED AND MEALY IF GOT A CHEQ WF IT WAS BREEDER NOT A RACER. AND BLUE ARE THE BEST RACER TO TO DATE FOR ME. GOT A COCK WHITE WITH TWO RED FLIGHTS ON EACH WING OFF A RED HEN TO CHEQ WF COCK OTHER ONE IN NEST IS A BLUE PIED.
