Mystery Loft Top Shelf Racing Pigeons

THE MYSTERY COCK

The Mystery Cock died in 1999  he was a medium sized dark check with a small waddle and perfect round head. His feathering was tight to his apple body. He never had a feather out of place.I have never held another pigeon with softer or more perfect feathering.He was caught in the wild with no band on his legs,But anyone could tell he was a true homer hence the name

"THE MYSTERY COCK"

THE MYSTERY COCK FAMILY

I had him for 10 years mating him to a different hen every year. I was amazed no matter what  mate I chose for him yellows,trentons,bricoux,or grizzles the youngsters flew excellent,and as Old Birds were the toughest endurance pigeons in my loft, even today his grandchildren are the 1st ones home on the hard ones. Winner's of 10 club races 500-600m a 1st Combine State Race 500m,2nd Combine on 600 with 25 mile an hour head winds.You can't find tougher pigeons anywhere.With over 100 diplomas and still climbing, his family is the one when the weather turns bad they come through. It is a big part of my long distance team.

The foudation of this family is the blackeagles out of south Africa which were crossed with the best silvere toye hen ever to hit this area. Of this pairing I aquired 2 Tremedous cocks AU 91 NOSUB 156 BLKWF and AU 92 NOSUB 1225 Solid Black,1 sister AU 91 NOSUB 163 Solid Black,and a neice AU 93 NOSUB 1055 BB. These 4 pigeons are a very big part of my success breeding 12 of the 28 1st Twincity Combine Winners, 35 of my 1st Club Winners from 100-500m. With over 150 diplomas Won by the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren all out of the 4 birds mentioned and to your right.

The base of this family originates back 20 years to Horest Hackemer on both the janssen and meuleman sides.I have blended in two excellent Ganus hens along with my black family for several years now and it just gets stronger. Winning 8 Twincity Combine 1st and 40 club 1st with over 250 diplomas over the years this family of birds continue to be the driving force behind my success at the 100-300mile races.

This is another bad weather, hard, head winds, tough, long distance family I've developed over the years. The cock bird is a pure Roosen down off of Marc Roosen of Belgium.Band # AU 91 MN 77 BC an excellent looking and handling pigeon.I also have a brother # AU 97 WRP 904 a DCWF with a very heavy waddle and eye sear.The hen #AU 91 I 20319 BBSPL is a daughter directly off of the famous "MOMMA" hackspan breed by Horst Hackermer.This hit pair has produced several champions,the very 1st round # AU 93 ARPU 1712 BC COCK won 1st club,1st combine, 5th combine, 8th combine ,and 8th in the state at 300 miles.His nestmate # AU 93 NOSUB 1208 won 3-1st & 3rd club 500m,2nd,6th,8th,13th,17th,&40th combine 500 mile.Also won 10th in the state race.Just to name a few.

This is another excellent long distance family, but this family is built for speed on the fast 500s-600s.The cock # AU 90 CRM 0760 BB is Delbar strain down from Clair Delbar of Belgium.His(760) father was the winner of the 400 mile Midwest Topek race competing against thousands of birds and 5 states.I mated(760) to an excellent hen # AU 86 MPLS 2962 BC she was(died 1999) a small hen breed from a Horeman cock and a Verslijpe hen out of Belgium Imports.This pairs children and grandchildren proved to be the ticket on those fast 500s-600s.Winning 1st combine 500m by 30 minutes with 40 miles over fly.They have won 6 combine 1st and 12 club 1st 100-600 miles.

This family was started with two pigeons that were given to me by a friend Larry Lattery. The Big Wattle Cock #AU 86 KEN 713 BC was purchased at an auction of an old timer that had past away out in Kenosha Wisconsin back in 1991. 713 was one of his old foundation family (Havinith). The hen # AU 89 Spokane 516 BC was a gift from a mutual friend of ours Jerry Yates a tremendous fly out of Spokane Washington. They mated up in the crate on the way home.There youngsters # AU 94 NOSUB 99 BB Hen 1st club 2nd Combine vs 404 birds at 615 miles,# AU 94 NOSUB 100 BB Hen 1st club 18th Combine vs 510 birds at 615 miles.1995 # AU 95 NOSUB 101 BBWF Hen 1st home 2nd club 450 m,2nd club 300m,3rd club 500m 5th club 100m.

Another mystery bird caught in the wild,but this one had a band #AU 88 I 6963 GRZ COCK I got him as a yearling but could not find whom he belong to only that the band was sold in Pennsylvania hence the name "The Pennsylvania Grizzle". He was a tremendous breeder as is his children and grandchildren are today.I gave him to a friend of mine Denny Kuhn 7 years ago and at 14 years old he is still producing excellent youngsters,I received a daughter out of him (2001)to replenish my stock loft.This family is one of best to cross with my Mystery,Delbar,Hackspan and Grooter families.

This white hen with black flight # AU 89 CRM 007 was breed by Denny Kuhn and flown as YB I resettled her and flew her 5 more years.I clocked her at all distances 200-600m she was home 1st on a 200 and 400m usually 2nd on the 500m but up in 1st again on the 600s.Winning 1st club 4th combine at 615m in 1993 and again in 1994 with her son(AU 92 NOSUB 2102)right behind her taking 3rd club 600m.2102 took 4th club on 600 in 1995 and in 1996 he was one of my three day birds on the 615m race taking 2nd in the club just behind (#100 a Havinith/HVR BB hen) and 8th in the combine.#007s children grand/greatgrandchlidren are producing some of my best 500&600m still.I don't have many grizzles but what I do have are the BEST!
