I know its a bit off the subject but I love my grizzles and it is still about grizzles anyway.
In my little stock shed I have one black grizzle and one white grizzle.
Whatever I get from them, I name after star wars characters, so the black ones get named after the characters on the dark side and the light ones get named after the good guys.
I'm not a star wars freak but just did it as a bit of fun for the grandkids.
Just letting you know in advance Mike for when you do a sale of my winners.

If it engages the next generation Dave then it’s all good, and hopefully the winners will flow

The best Gert Heylen bloodlines in the UK were always with Paul Green at Red Hill Farm Lofts. I’ve sold for him for years, but in the last 12 months I’ve sold a lot of the direct Gert’s to China for him
Lee Painter had lots of success with De Meyer over the years. Lee had the last son of Champion Whitehead who was `De Meyer’s no1 cock
Lots of people done well with Lambrechts including my good mate Jimmy Dutton
It was through Carl Lambrechts that Jimmy met Alex `Docx
They are a good pigeon too
I think the Williams hen I got 2023 has Heylen / de Meyer on the sire side I am not one really one to check the strains to much but pretty sure it has . I only really checked the sires performance at the time
Also Leon Prince told me some time back his best De Meyer pair were from the Painters
I’m only going off memory Neil but i suspect you are correct with the Williams hen
Leon’s a top class fancier and he’s ever so good with Lee, always feeding back the winners. I know cos Lee sends me the screenshots. Leon does well with them at National level too
