yorkie Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 got a black stock bird off louella bred off a grandson of king of the faroes, nice bird, think will be better crossed into a good long distance hen, not keen on the barless mealies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 YES 30 + YEARS AGO MY BIRDS ARE OFF THE LATE JIMMY BAITTIE SYMINGTON IN SCOTLAND NEAR BIGGAR I THINK. 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.
