GB 26 Z 07140 BLACK HEN China Girl behind the sire and the dam, and the last season of Mr Palmer's £500 black cock
De Bruijne blood through both grandmothers' lines, with China Girl behind the sire and the dam, and the last season of Mr Palmer's £500 black cock
A 2026 black hen bred from a young pairing of two strong breeding families. Her sire comes down from "By Law", a son of Lawman × Sweet Caroline, and from "Golden Jade", described by the breeder as "my No 1 hen". Her dam is a daughter of a black cock bred by Mr Palmer, bought for £500 and lost on 4 July 2025, so his youngsters are few. De Bruijne blood is named on both sides of the card, and China Girl appears behind both parents.
The Sire — 25 Z 11326
Blue cock · son of a De Bruijne cock and a prize-winner-breeding hen
His sire, 24 N 33739, is described as "top cock from the best Bruijne", and is himself a son of "By Law" (23 V 72188), a son of Lawman × Sweet Caroline, out of "Golden Jade" (23 V 72081) — in the breeder's words, "my No 1 hen".
His dam, 24 V 59478, "bred many prize winners for me". She is a daughter of 19 D 49171, the breeder's "top stock cock" and a half-brother to the 2nd King's Cup, and of 22 V 51658, a daughter of China Girl.
The Dam — 25 D 63279
Black hen · daughter of Mr Palmer's £500 cock and a De Bruijne breeding hen
Her sire, 24 D 84166, a black cock bred by Mr Palmer, is described as "top breeding" and cost £500. He died on 4 July 2025, which caps the number of his children that will ever exist; the dam is one of them.
Her dam, 24 D 81622, is described on the card as "top breeder", with the name William De Bruijne written beside her. She is a daughter of 23 D 92847, bred from Equinox × China Girl, and 23 Z 15244. That makes China Girl a great-great-grandmother on this side as well as on the sire's.
Super Line bred De Bruijn for the stock loft !!
Foot note from Howard himself.
In 2024 I was told I had stage 4 prostrate cancer which had gone to my bones, so I sold nearly all my race bird’s including stock. My last sale was due for Dec 2024 with 20 late breds and 4 stock birds. On my visit too Hull Hospital in Nov 2024 to see my consultant Doctor Patu, he informed me that he though my treatment was working because my P.S.I. was dropping from 940, and it is now undetectable, so I decided too give it another try racing, racing only 5 race bird in 2025 old birds on rubbers. They won or were first 4 in every old bird race, ending with 2nd GYA, 1200 odd bird’s.
I was invited too join a very strong club for young birds, and they flew really well winning a few races, in many arriving in bunches.
In 2026 old bird I was 2nd Fed ECT despite me going on a cruise for 2 wks. In young bird season: first Grantham 88ml 1st 2nd 3rd 4th, 1st Ebor Fed; Grantham (2) 1st club 1st Fed; Huntingdon 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th, first 4 in Fed; and in last race of season 1st club 1st Fed, Decoy Lakes.
Winning
3rd breeder buyer in GYA £400,
In the club 1st and 2nd breeder
buyer and £1,000.
So thats all bragging done, now onto birds.
Mostly ‘William De Bruije’ from syndicate loft, with a few Luc Vavort’s, all very nr the tree: Lawman, Blue Spider, Erin, Little China Girl, All the Aces, Yurri, Murphys Diamond, Red Rum, Sweet Caroline, Maggy Murphy, and many more. I still have ‘Golden Jade’ – her young this yr alone have won me £1400 in B and B. These will be my last ever sales as I am 86 now.
