UPDATE 1/9/21: Sex not guaranteed!! Just today 11827 statred acting more like a cock!! Sorry--life with pigeons!
Watch the video to see the sire, dam and this fantastic young bird!
11827 is my favorite young bird I bred in 2020, also out of my favorite breeding pair in 2020, Flyboy x Fat Bottomed Girl. The sire, Flyboy is one of three birds off a special mating of a Ganus-based bird bred by Jones Family x Whiteley Loft’s foundation hen, All The Luck 1619, who is the second best breeding hen out of Joe Nemelka’s famous Aarden hen (second only to Aarden2). The dam, Fat Bottomed Girl, is out of one of Joe’s better breeders, Double Talk, who is a Grandson of the Aarden hen; bottom side is the beautiful silver birds Joe brought in from Frank Zwiers.
11827 is well-muscled with a long keel, strong in the hand and full of vitality (you can feel the vibration just holding her)! She has only dropped a few flights, but she has great spacing in flights 7-10 and a strong back wing; upper wing bone (humerus) is short. Vent bones are quite close for a hen—only slightly separated and strong. She has great balance, single pin tail and strong back. She is special and I was planning on breeding out of her—the genetics are certainly there! Good luck!
