The breeds we have decided to try in these community lofts were sought out and and acquired from some of the best lofts in the country within each respective breed.  All breeds are of the highest quality that we could find.  Offspring from some of these birds will be offered periodically so please keep checking our "Birds For Sale" page and our auction site for listings.  Other pics of breeders will be posted soon so check back often.

Medium-Faced Crested Helmets

I wish to extend a great deal of thanks and gratitude to Myron Berger and James Jensen for the excellent start in this breed.  Both men sent me excellent stock birds from champion stock.

  This is a young Black cock out of the Black cock and Brown hen.  This bird doesn't show quite the globe size of his father, but has excellent station, type, and lobster tail.  
The following pics are slightly larger sized so please be patient while they load, but show the "lobster tail" of these Marchenero's in flight.

Jacobins

Jacobins have long been a favorite breed of mine and after a very long time of searching, I was finally able to acquire some good Jacobins at a reasonable price.  These birds are from a top breeder in Jacobins and were acquired through a good friend, Randy Summy.  I wish to extend a thank you to Randy for allowing me the opportunity to get these great birds.  These birds are much better than the pics show.

Black hen Yellow Splash cock

He turned towards me just as I snapped the picture.

Dun Grizzle hen

Possibly the best quality bird of the group, but she wouldn't cooperate for this picture.

 
Gaditano Pouters

Our Gaditano stud was acquired literally one bird at a time  Although not a large stud of birds (only 3 pairs) we have excellent quality stock to work with in the colors we wanted.  All of these birds are loaded with personality and are a true joy to have in the loft.

This is possibly my favorite pair and the Brown Bar hen is most definitely one of my favorite birds.  She has a huge, well placed globe and excellent carriage.  The Ash Red cock is not blowing to his potential in the above picture, but is a very nice bird. This Black Mottle cock was the first Gaditano we got this year and sat around for a while before we found a mate for him.  An unbanded 2004 bird, but has produced well for us.

This Ash Red hen is a real honey!!  Another good bird with a nice, big globe. This Lavender Grizzle cock is bred to the Ash Red hen.  He carries Black and is truly a beauty to watch in the loft.
