This is a repost from last week...the winning bidder notified me he cannot make the payment. This pigeon is very very nice!! I just handled him again this morning and he's worth the extra effort of holding onto, so I've raised the opening bid. These go VERY QUICKLY when CBS sells them. He should be ready to breed by late spring if you want to go ahead and get this blood into your loft. I recommend pairing him to a nice older hen who won't let him waste time getting to the nest.
I have no doubts that this will be a Foundation Cock! He's young, but already spinning in front of hens when they're off their nests in the stock loft. I had planned to build a separate section to house a few newer birds I bought to be breeders, but I don't have the time...so I'm selling them. My loss is your gain!! You'll probably be able to breed from this cock by May. I really like his breeding, double grandson of a top cock with two very nice hens.
97 is medium in size with a very balanced built and bouyancy seen in the top breeding and racing birds. His wings are very nice with great ventilation and they reach. He has very nice red/pearl eyes like his grandfather Rode Kannibaal, a one-pin tail, soft feathering even though he's going through the molt, and a strong skeletal system with nice strong vents. If you look up the vimeo videos whre Rick Mardis shows Thunder, 97's Uncle, they're built very similarly with the exception that Thunder was a Blue Check.
Good luck bidding. |
