Nice watch Devo
I am sure Mike flew the VDB with great success before his Gaby pigeons I think he had a outstanding pencil cock
When I was a kid they were really successful in the East End of London out to Essex from Albert Babbington then went into overdrive once crossed with the Planet brothers pigeons
Lovely blues and pencils the odd pied
It’s nice to see the blood is still winning and not just disappearing into a new name like so many old strains

Yes i agree Neil, some great family of birds have come to the UK. And there has been some great flyers, using these birds to do some great cross breeding.

That video is of the Van Den Brande Bros of Berlaar Neil
It's them that bred "GOED GRIJS" for Andre and Bert Leideman
My Pencil was a Van Den Bosche - he was a good un.

Also it said about straw on top of straw but the lofts were scraped but maybe I missed it as doing two things at once at the time

I once read the great fancier Terry Haley feeds direct on his deep litter of sand base I thought it strange but can’t comment as he a natural
But not my way
