Gert Heylen is one of the best operators in Belgium especially in the sprint arena. Not only is he a fantastic fancier in his own right, but his pigeons are having a truly HUGE impact at other lofts – and many of the offspring of these birds are household names in the UK.
I’ll give you some examples if I may?
We all know that “OLYMPIC ROSITA” is one of the finest racer/breeder hens in Belgium history. A crack racer she truly left her mark by being the direct Dam of “KITTEL”, “GREIPEL”, “NEW KITTEL” etc. Well, the G.Sire of “OLYMPIC ROSITA” is “BLAUWE GERT” (The clue’s in the name).
“BLAUWE GERT” is the direct son of Gert Heylen’s famous “JACKPOT” cock.
In recent weeks we have acquired a DIRECT SON of the famous "JACKPOT" cock and 2 G.Children of his famous son "BLAUWE GERT"
Another one of Gert's most famous pigeons is "THE MIRAGE"
The great UNC pigeon "DINO" is a G.Son of "THE MIRAGE"
We have DIRECT from "THE MIRAGE"
