A very ugly cock on sale.
* Lineage unknown. -Probably has a touch of carrier blood in the veins to help the cock carry more weight.
* No breeding or race results supplied by owner. We suspect he did not race very well.
* 17 years old. He does not really carry his years well, and is on the boney side. We suggest you to build him up a bit before attempting to breed with him.
* Fertility NOT guaranteed.
* Terrible wing. Very thick and wide primary flights
* No muscle tone. Very boney type Need to mate this cock with a nice and fat roomy hen that tends to pick up weight to rectify the weaknesses here.
* Over developed nose wattles -Need to trim it weekly.We suggest you mate this cock to a hen with small nose wattles, to prevent the babies from also having huge nose wattles.
* Big nose wattles is not cool, and this tends to be non airodynamic in flight, and takes at least 10 minutes off the pace.
* Nice length in the neck area. Definately has the strenght in the nect to face strong head winds, and will also do well on any winds blowing frm the sided as well.
* Fantastic breeding eye. Unfortuantely he has a bit of ornithosis, and we could not get him to open his eyelids for a decent photo. But, judging by the nice eye lids, we believe he should have a very strongly pigemented breeding eye.

Personally, I would not buy this cock, but what do I know about pigeons.
Some of the ugliest pigeons become super racers and breeders.
Even if you only get one baby from it, and put it to stock to preserve the line, this might help to strengthen any VERY WEAK stock loft.

Good luck to the buyer, and remember, there is no exchange guarantee on this one......................

Unfortunately the owner has a RESERVE OPENING PRICE on this ughly cock of R11250

Hope you had a good laugh, and enjoy the weekend's racing.

Best Regards
