"Armstrong" Proven racer and breeder!! Straight from two greats of Brad Hoggan's Loft. Bonus Sure Bet Hen with Race Record if buyer does flashy/buy-it-now option!! "Armstrong" was bred in the early summer of 2010. He was the last off of my great hen "Isabella" before she was killed by a hawk. I raced Armstrong at 150, 200, and 300 miles. The 150 and 200 were a breeze, but the 300 was really hard. The 300 was on his 4 month birthday and he was my first cock in the loft, arriving 15 minutes behind the first two birds, which included his sister. In 2011 and 2012 I bred two super hens off of him mated to an inbred Sure Bet Hen. For the past few years he hasn't bred for me as I had to take a break from pigeons due to moving to a new church (I'm a minister). My wife and I have a small loft and have decided to get into the pigeon release business so my great racers have to make room.
If the buyer of "Armstrong" uses the flashbuy/buy-it-now option, I'm going to through in the hen he's mated to which is Sure Bet/699 based. She was raised and raced by Skip Walston and hasn't been bred from. I have floated a set of their eggs and they are ready for breeding now!! Both have been vaccinated with the PMV-1 and KM-1 vaccines, have been through a medication program for cocci, canker, and worms, and the lights have been on since November 1st.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email: 910.818.4589 and pastorgrahambyrum@gmail.com.
Stay tuned to the auction in the coming weeks as I'll have a few more for sale.
God Bless!!
