AU 45 HERTZOG 2025 — Blue Bar Hen
(Young bird sexes not guaranteed, sexed as accurately as possible)
This hen was bred for purpose, She carries the same blood that has already climbed into the very top tier of American racing, including the bird that stood as 4th AU National Ace Young Bird 2024 in a staggering field of over 102,000 pigeons.
Her father is a full sibling to that Ace bird — meaning the genes that defined that national success are not distant or diluted — they sit directly beside her in the pedigree. He wasn’t just related to winners — he competed himself, clocking:
3, 3, 44, 83, 169, 193 in the 2024 season.
And the rest of that sibling group? They weren’t trailing behind — they put up a long list of front-end finishes:
2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10, 11, 16, 24, 26, 53, 71, 95, 125, 131, 150, 160, 175, 208, 220.
That’s not luck — that’s a line where winning is routine.
Her mother added another layer to this story — one of quiet reliability and genetic strength. She raced herself with steady finishes:
49, 57, 143 in GHC/FSI/Tampa,
and 73, 113 in combine,
and then the deeper truth emerged:
It’s the mother’s side that shows production power.
Her mother’s sire raced with consistency — 35, 93, 119, 189 —
but it’s what he bred for you in 2024 that matters most:
6, 6, 19, 25, 49, 49, 57, 59, 73, 73, 99, 111, 111, 113, 142, 175, 175, 176, 192, 211, 270, 274, 416.
And then the proof point that pedigree buyers will stop and stare at:
A nest sister’s daughter bred 1st Place Greater Tampa Bay Combine winner against 1500+ pigeons in 2025 for Joe Charvat.
This family doesn’t just race well — it replicates success forward.
Then there is the anchor to it all —
Victory Queen — appearing twice in this hen’s pedigree.
Victory Queen herself produced:
4th AU National Ace YB 2024 (102,000+ birds)
7th AU Hall of Fame
1st Ace FSI
2nd Section GTB
14th Ace GTB
So AU 45 isn’t just descended from greatness —
she is structurally built from a double dose of the foundational dam line that is shaping your best results.
Pair her right and she’s not a gamble — she’s a multiplier.
She carries the genetics to breed birds that go to the front, stay at the front, and finish with intent.
