Listed below are most of the additions to our loft for 2008.
1. A red grizzle cock that is a proven flyer and a tiger grizzle hen from the same family, both from the loft of Tom DeMartino of New York.
2. Three Dworek hens and two Janssen hens from Larry Davis of Michigan. The former will be used with the Dworek birds obtained last year from Barry Venn and the latter will be used on my own family of yellow bars.
3. A "Moris" cock from the breeder sell-out of the great Rich Dworek via the "iPigeon" auction site.
4. Two very nice blue bar Janssen hens, one from Eagle Lake Lofts of Michigan and another bred by Baker and Sons of Ohio, both obtained at the Central Indiana RPC's annual benefit auction. One of these will be mated to "Joe Rocket".
5. A blue bar Van Loon cross cock from the raffle at the same auction, which will be mated to one of our own Janssen hens.
6. A slate Horeman cock from Bob Tauscher of Ohio.
