id be greatful for any help/info

I have meulemans in fact most of my stock is now based around them and van den bosche which are all janssens really, excellant birds. I have birds which the parents are chocs but never bred 1 my self. I might be able to find some for you but they are blues and pieds.

thanks for the offer
but im looking for the choclates
dont race these days more into colours than anything
i only have one pair of cheqs but thinking of letting these old favs go this year
to concentrate on the coloured racers
take it these are holding there own for you in competion

they used to say the choclates where the breeders and the pencils and blues where the racers
not sure how true this was
never kept them when i raced

Hi steve, I misunderstood, I thought you wre looking for racers. Well I will keep you in mind mate as I hate reds so If I breed a choc next year you are welcome to it.

great thanks for the kind offer
i just hope you breed loads of choclates now

in a cuple of my jannssens pedigrees it says muelman janssens but the birds are blues and cheqs, so maybe they could breed a choc in future......... would be interesting to wait and see.

p.s. steve they have a yb in the nest approx20 days old which i dont really want, shame it wasnt a choc...........

yes it is shame that david
apperently the choclates weren't very good racers more of a stock bird
if i remember right fron the 80's/90's when these where quite popular

hi steve, i looked on the louella site last week and he still had quite few choc muelmans.....i know you wont want to go paying silly money off them but it just shows there are still plenty about..........

just dont see them that often now
didnt think lpw still had them
i now i lot used them to cross into there jansen based familys
but wot isnt jansen based these days

yes steve, just checked his sales list but they were on last week or the week before............now he has the roland janssens which seem to be mainly whites and white grizzles, the ones he had a couple of weeks ago were choccolates and pieds and did look quite nice birds.

In 2008 my father purchased 12 Choc meulemans from a guy called Marcel van Ostaeyen he has an agent in the racing pigeon and the 10 that made it to the first race flew like demons one in particular picked up 5 prizes in 9 races. The birds were around 20 or 25 quid each and the agent delivered them to the door.

I have meulmans and vanden bosche, but not chocs, never bred 1 , I keep getting blues, pencils and dark chequers. They are my favourite janssens ver beautiful to look at, they race well But Im crossing them this year to see If I can make them a bit faster.

Raced them myself Martyn

getting rid of mine now
need the room for the fancy breeds
just got most of them in last year

nice looking birds pete the last time i saw a chocolate was in 1979 it was my grandfathers choc hen which was a grooter lovely colours mate

nice looking birds pete, have they done anything for you or are they new birds just brought in...?

not raced them david, was going to pack in, just kept these for my pleasure, got 14 pair and 12 yearlings, changed my mind now going to have to get a y/bird team together, wont be racing the chocolates, will have to get something to cross into them...

As I have said before I have lots of meulmans, they cross very well with almost anything for racing, I put mine to deklak janssens and bred some good birds, my meulemans are dark chequers and bronze but no chocs, never bred 1, meulemans and van den bosche are closely related I have both and thats where the dark bronz birds come from, also blues and pencils. I dont like reds as a rule but do like some chocs and black splashed ones, nice looking birds shame not to race them.

Heres one of my van den bosche bronze pigeons related to the meulemans.
