Daughter of 'Missil' & 'Pocket Rocket' (Inbred Mating)
'Missil' is Top-2 Foundation Cock and Father of acclaimed foundation
breeders '1755 ~ Torpedo', '901', and 'California Kid'
'AUB 727' is a 2025 late hatch beautiful sleek nice handling Direct-Daughter of 'Missil' one of Steve Sterchi's Top-2 Foundation Cocks. We did not sell him last year during Steve's estate sale as he was 9 years old and potential buyers were concerned that he would still be fertile. Kim Sterchi and I (Matt) decided to keep him and were able to breed several late hatches over the summer and early fall from him. He ended up filling 11 of 12 eggs (one fertile egg broke) and we bred 10 children from him. He raised three of those rounds himself. He was mated to 'Pocket Rocket' who is also his aunt. A heavily inbred mating that should be a great outcross.
'AUB 727' is also an inbred Granddaughter of 'Tia Chica" ($100,000 Triple Crown Winner) and 'Camilo' ($46,000 Winner and #1 Cock for Missils Castro)
'AUB 727' is an inbred Half-Sister of '1755 ~ Torpedo' who was the #1 Current Breeder at the time of Steve's passing. She is also a Half-Sister of '901' who was a Top-2 Breeding Hen for Steve as well.

'AUB 727' is a beautiful hen that is sleek and between medium and medium-small in size. She is longer cast as is typical of the Missil birds with longer flights and great spacing in the outside flights. She also has silky soft feather with nice pliable muscle. Very good wing vibration. She has a strong back with mostly tight vents. She shows pretty good character and beak pull response. Tremendous bouyancy as well on this hen. Nice pearl eyes as well with good circle of correlation. Overall 'AUB 727' is a super handling hen that will get even better with age. She was hatched late June 2025 and was bred in an individual breeding pen. Half the proceeds on sale of this hen will go to Steve Sterchi's wife Kim as this was a partnership on keeping 'Missil'.
