The following birds are available for sale at this time. They are priced so the average person can afford them. So don't pass up some good birds just because they're not priced at several hundred dollars each. If you're at the other end of the financial spectrum, you need to realize that these are pedigreed animals and not street pigeons. The day of the five-or-ten-dollar pigeon is long gone. They are priced so I can receive some reasonable return on the investment I have made in breeding stock, feed, time caring for them, etc.
What is a pigeon really worth? The value of a pigeon depends on three factors, and you can read about them here.
You will find some rare-colored birds among those listed. It is important to remember that we are a FLYING loft, not a COLOR loft. Our rare colors are required to fly right with the other birds. We sell youngsters that we raise out of our flyers, but we will seldom sell the rare-colored flyers themselves because we will be using them later as breeders.
I am selling pigeons, not paper, but almost all of those listed below have extensive pedigrees. I will provide whatever pedigree information I have on each bird listed. Feel free to email me and request an electronic copy of the pedigree of any bird listed here.
PLEASE NOTE: The USPS has recently hit us with a significant increase in postal rates, in some cases almost double what they had been. Therefore, if birds are to be shipped to you (shipping to destinations in the lower 48 continental USA only), the shipping charge (postage plus box) will be as follows: $80 for one or two birds, $120 for 3 birds, and $160 for 4 birds to cover the cost of postage and a special USPS-approved shipping box. Where possible I will try to get specific postage charges for your postal zone and the weight of the shipment. The cost of the box is then added to the actual postage. (4 or more birds means multiple boxes. Multiple boxes are often cheaper than using one of the larger boxes that are available. This is because the post office charges are based on size as well as weight. They charge significantly more for any box that is more than 1 cubic foot, regardless of weight.)
Payment can be made via money order or bank check (I do not accept personal checks). You can use Visa or Mastercard by clicking on the Paypal logo below if you prefer. Paypal "friends and family" is the preferred method of payment.

| 1. | 2018 Silver (ash red bar) cock no. 8237. He carries the genes for barless and dilute; for that reason he was held back for breeding rather than flying. His sire was a dark red check that was a race winner on a bond race from 250 miles. His dam was a barless blue that was flown from 100 miles as a yb prior to being set aside for stock. He is heavy HVR on his sire's side. Price: $100 | 
|
||
| 2. | May hatch 2025 blue bar cock no. 5420, carries the gene for barless. Sire is 9436-19, a barless blue that flew 5 races out to 120 miles prior to being moved to the stock loft and also carrying the gene for recessive opal. So there is a 50% chance 5420 will also carrie that opal gene. Dam is a blue check hen I obtained from the dispersal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft of Southern California). Paul was known as a very successful flyer in both local and one loft races. Price: $100. |  |

| 3. |
Late April hatch blue
check pied young hen no. 6568 (sex not guaranteed). This bird looks
and handles like a cock but based on her breeding I'm fairly confident
that she will eventually show herself as a hen. She is out of a cock
I raised that is a grandson of an AU Registered Champion from Perfection
Loft of Kansas and he is fully pedigreed. That cock was mated to a 2024
ash red pied hen no. 4426, that flew 300 miles in the IF Convention
Race of 2024. I have no pedigree on 4426 since she was obtained as a
gift from a fellow club member who does not keep pedigree info and who
decided he did not need her as a breeder. Definite performance in the
pedigree. Price: $50. |

| 4. | October hatch yearling blue bar cock no. 5585, carries both recessive white and recessive opal. Sire is recessive opal no. 3750 that has flown 8 races out to 200 miles twice with a 5th place on one of the 200's. He is 3/4 Gaby from the loft of David Stephenson (Kastle Loft) of Kentucky. Dam is a pure white that also flew 8 short races. She is primarily long-distance Delbar down from the CBS imports of the early 2000's. This is a large pigeon but not overly large. Price: $100 plus shipping. |

May hatch blue bar no.
6576. Egg was found on the floor so I cannot guarantee that the
parents shown on the pedigree are correct, although that seems to be
the case based on an assumption I am making along with the fact that
the bird shown as the dam on the pedigree had recently laid just one
egg in her nest. For that reason the price is significantly less than
it would be if I were sure. Sex is not guaranteed but it appears to
be a young cock. Price:
$20 |

| 6. | Here's another late April hatch, a dark check pied no. 6571 that I thought might be a cock but could go the other way. He is fully pedigreed out of a pair of birds I purchased from the final dispersal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA Loft) of Southern California. The sire of 6571: In the 2019 Royal Cup was 7th @ 350 vs 106, 95th vs 699 @ 305, 58th vs 265 @ 190. Several siblings placed very high in other OLRs. The dam of 6571 is a pigeon i raised out of another pair of PNA birds. Price: $50 |

| 7. | AU 16 FDY 6464.Here's an old hen that just might help your breeding program because she sure has been a good one for me. She is indeed OLD and that is why she is offered AS IS but at a crazy low price even having raised two rounds earlier this year. She has been one of my better breeders over the last several years raising two race winners and several diploma winners over those years. From a distance she looks like an ordinary blue check but she is actually an indigo that has got darker over the years. Parents are a brother to an AU Elite Champion and a granddaughter of another AU Elite Champion. 6464 is a full sister to 2 race winners, 1 of which is a multiple diploma winner; and two other diploma winners. In 2021 she raised a 120-mile winner and in 2024 she raised a 200-mile winner. Price: $25 |  |
||
| 8. | 2025 silver cock no.5383. Flew 120 miles as a young bird prior to being set aside for breeding as a yearling. Carries the gene for brown and also the gene for recessive white. Sire is a pure white that is Delbar/Gaby; dam is a brown bar Scottish Bonnie down from a Gray Fox and Harms unbanded brown cock mated to a Deisher true silver hen. Price: $75 |
 |
||
| 9. | 2024 Reduced cock no.4695. This is a fairly large pigeon, very active, and has raised seven young over the last two breeding seasons, both of which were cut short by early summer. Offspring were too late to settle with my yb team so I have no data on performance for those seven young birds. Price: $125 |  |
||
| 10. | Young blue check cock no. LIMA 6308. (Sex isn't guaranteed but I'm pretty condifent about it.) Sire is 293. an opal cock also from the Kastle Loft in Kentucky and primarily Evans Gaby. 293's dam is another Evans Gaby that has proven herself as one of David's best breeders with a long list of the accomplishments of her offspring. Dam is one of my many reduced hens, unflown herself but down from flying stock. Price: $50 |
 |
||
| 11. | May 2026 hatch reduced young hen no. 6314. She is moulting in the picture but she is going to be a real beauty when the moult is over. As an additional bonus, she also carries the recessive gene for opal. Her sex is guaranteed because she is out of a sex-linked mating (reduced cock x non-reduced hen). Her sire is the cock shown above in lot no. 9. He has 2 race winners behind him, as well as pigeons who have raised winners. Her dam is a blue opal hen that is 3/4 Kastle opals with multiple race winners among their offspring and 1/4 my own opal family. If 6314 is not sold on this site there is an excellent chance that she will be among the limited number of breeders I will house next year. Price: $125 (Price will likely increase as she develops further.) |
 |
||
| 12. | Blue bar young cock no. LIMA 6578. (Sex not guaranteed.) Sire is 305 who sired 1069, a bird that won 1st @200, 3rd @100 and 4th @100. Dam is a reduced t-pattern, so 6578 will if he is indeed a cock carry the gene for reduced. My reduced will fly as well as my other birds. 1069 is also the maternal grandsire of 6578. Pedigree shows great performance in this bird's background. Price: $50 |  |
||
| 13. | 2025 blue bar pied hen no. 5315. Parents are a pair of birds from the final disposal sale of the loft of the late Paul Anderson (PNA loft) of Southern California. As a young bird she flew twice from 100 miles and twice from 120 miles; as a yearling she flew once from 100 miles and twice from 120. This is a very nice hen that has almost always been near the top of the sheet as well as showing up among the first dozen or so on most training tosses. No race record on parents but grandparents on both sides show extensive success on races with both grandsires flying well out to the longer races. One of them placed 4th at 300 miles and the other 51st at 400 miles on a race that started with 213 entries but only 92 returning. This same pigeon placed 28th from 150 miles vs 433 birds and 148 lofts. Price: $150 |
 |
||
| 14. | Blue bar young bird no. 6559. May hatch, this pigeon looks and handles like a hen. I am about 90% confident that it is a hen but at this point I cannot guarantee it. She is out of an unflown silver (ash red bar) cock that is mated to a blue bar hen that flew 4 races out to 200 miles prior to being moved to the breeding loft as a 2-year-old. Both parents carry the gene for barless so there is a good chance that she does also. Her paternal grandparents consists of a "red velvet" cock that flew out to 250 miles, winning that 250 which was also a bond race. He was mated to a barless blue hen that flew 100 miles. Maternal grandparents were a barless blue cock that flew 5 races prior to going to the stock loft and a khaki bar hen. Price: $50 |  |

| ****DRAGOONS***DRAGOONS**** | ||||
Folks have been asking me for Dragoons for the last three years and it has been difficult for me to accomodate them because my breeding has always been concentrated on my Racing Homers. So I made it a point to push my Dragoons a little harder the last two years so now I finally have a few pair to offer for sale. I don't keep very many so at this time most of what is available will be blacks and whites. I will be posting only a pair or two at a time (when available) because most of what I raised were later in the year and I am not sure of the sex of many. In the meantime, feel free to email me to see if anything is available as I am still sorting things out. |
