GB21 R 26136 GRIZZLE HEN Linebred to the Lambert & Davies No 1 pair through Falaise Lady, their No 1 producer, on both sides
GB21 R 26136 is a grizzle hen linebred to the Lambert & Davies No 1 pair — the No 1 cock, by Best of Burgham Bros out of an Alan Maull Janssen hen and sold for £6,300, and the grizzle No 1 hen W97 T 01143, the No 1 partner at ECS. The pair appear three times in her pedigree, most importantly through Falaise Lady, their No 1 producer, who stands behind both the sire and the dam. Her sire raced from 100 to 580 miles and has bred a 1st Federation winner.
The Sire — WHU09 S 12373
Chequer pied cock · raced 100–580 miles · sire and grandsire of winners including 1st Federation 2020
Described by the breeder as the "best of the Lambert & Davies bloodlines", he was "retained for stock after a long career racing, winning from 100 miles to 580 miles", and is sire and grandsire of winners, including 1st Federation 2020.
His sire is the "John May Cock" (GB-03-N70040), "one of my best breeders" and the top-priced bird at the Lambert sale, bred from a direct Janssen Bros cock (B-00-6317334) and Falaise Lady. His dam, W00 N 15638, a chequer pied hen, is a "top daughter of the Lambert & Davies No 1 pair" — so a full sister to Falaise Lady. The sire is therefore bred nephew × aunt, 12.5% inbred to the No 1 pair.
The Dam — W11 T 11324
Grizzle hen · bred for stock · sister to many winners
Bred for stock "to retain bloodlines" and described as a "sister to many winners". Her sire is W03 B 09638, a blue U. Belle × Janssen cock the breeder calls "my No 1 breeder — sire, grandsire and great-grandsire of winners". He is by W02 S 06358, 1st Federation and 15th National Bonn as a yearling at 500 miles, out of W01 S 07142, bred for stock, a granddaughter of Westra Kadet and sold for £4,500 at auction.
Her dam is "Falaise Lady" (W00 N 15669), a daughter of the Lambert No 1 pair described as their "No 1 producer". So the same hen sits behind the sire's sire and directly behind the dam.
