GB20X 11035 Chequer Hen Bred by John Crehan TEAM HOOYMANS UK, a direct dtr STAREYE ESMEE, half brother NEW HARRY!

On offer are some stock pigeons from Kingsway Lofts UK (William Donachie)

For sale only due to a change of plan for 2027, and a bigger focus now on
One Loft Racing for which more loft space is required. This means over a series of sales that some impeccably bred stock pigeons acquired with no expense spared will now be parted with, as well as some pigeons from the younger stock team that were bred for stock and will no longer be required… my loss, will most certainly be someone’s gain!

A daughter of "Harry" (1st Blois, 37,728 birds) on her dam's side, by a son of "Stareye" who carries Harry again through his own sire

GB20 X 11035 is a chequer hen bred by Jan Hooymans from a pairing that puts the loft's two strongest lines together. Her dam is a daughter of "Harry" (NL07-2007621), winner of 1st Blois against 37,728 birds and 1st Châteauroux against 22,340, out of the eight-times winning hen "Mystique". Her sire is a son of "Stareye" (NL10-1881869), the dam of "New Harry", 1st Niergnies against 14,737 birds, and he goes back to Harry himself through his own sire. Harry therefore appears on both sides of this hen's pedigree.

The Sire — NL17-1410272 "Stareyes Esmee"

Blue cock · Jan Hooymans · son of Stareye, grandson of Harry

The card describes him as "the only child of the amazing Stareye in the UK", and his value lies in that mother. Stareye, bred by C. v.d. Wetering from original Jo Baas lines, is credited on the card with breeding winners of 1st Niergnies 14,737 birds, 1st Pt. Ste. Maxence 12,894, 1st Quiévrain 11,337, 1st Quiévrain 3,513, 1st Asse Zellik 1,897, 1st Melun 1,046, 1st Sézanne 740 and 1st Niergnies 455, together with a 1st National Young Bird PIPA ranking.

Among those children is his half-brother "New Harry": 1st Niergnies 14,737, 1st Pt. Ste. Maxence 12,894, 1st Melun 1,046, 9th Troyes 6,390, 38th Blois 6,613 and 309th Bourges 5,177. A second half-brother, "Harry Junior", won 1st Asse Zuid Provincial 8,257 birds, 1st Lessines 4,097, 2nd Asse Zellik 2,091 and 4th Bourges National 16,658.

His own sire, NL15-1849890, is a son of Harry out of "Esmee" (NL12-1005204), the Tj. & J. Elzinga hen recorded as a three-times 1st prize winner and 1st National Ace Bird 2014. The card calls it an "outstanding pairing", and that cock is a full brother to the breeder of 1st National Sens 2018, 1st National Morlincourt 2018 and 3rd NPO Morlincourt 2016.

The Dam — NL14-1210088 "Miss Flash Harry"

Harry (chequer, DNA certified) won 1st Blois 37,728 birds, 1st Châteauroux 22,340 and 3rd Châteaudun 21,520, and added 6th Morlincourt 4,418 and 15th Strombeek 4,358. He is by the Belgian cock "Jonge Bliksem" (B01-3266512) out of "Dirkje", a daughter of Kleine Dirk.

Her mother is "Mystique" (GB07-L02105), a chequer hen the card calls "exclusive", credited with 1st prizes against 4,316, 3,801, 1,740, 1,558 and 1,379 birds, plus further 1sts against 570, 318 and 299.
