GB 23 C 10815 Bricoux Hen
The progeny of 2 direct Bill Kitchen Bricoux, their ancestral base being birds that were originally bought at Mr. Jasper's clearance sale at great expense in the late 1970's. Bill Kitchen was a household name in relation to the Bricoux dynasty. He hailed from Birmingham and first bought 4 birds from Mr. Jasper in 1941. Not long afterwards, Mr. Jasper passed and his entire Dr. Anderson sourced colony of Bricoux pigeons were sold at his bereavement sale. Bill Kitchen managed to buy 6 Direct Dr. Bricoux rung birds and a further 16 birds which had been bred directly from Bricoux direct birds to form his own colony of these magnificent birds. The family was kept pure until Bills death. These birds still possess all of the notable traits of the Bricoux strain - detailed eyes, "ghost heads", black splashes on the Mealy's and Reds and very good at the longer distances.

Our Barker colony are of the “Croston” Barker origins which hail from the Lancashire are of the UK, having originally come down through the Edmonson Barkers that arrived in the UK around 1900, with the principle birds coming down the line of “Strinsdale Queen”.
Tuplin, Orrett, Hogg, Roanes, Eastham, Baldwin, Blackstone and Bullen were all flyers of derivatives descended of this family and they excelled from 70 to 700 miles on the UK racing circuit. Our specific family of Barkers are descended from the Kenny Hogg lofts – he competed with that list of fanciers above and was the most winning of them all, particularly at the distance from France.
This bird is predominantly a Barker based pigeon, containing all of the old Croston Barker lines through Kenny Hogg / Martin Healy lines, including the famous "O2" Cock - responsiible for many French pigeons into Northern Ireland over the past 20 years. Known to be competitive over both short and long distance races, these birds prefer it when conditions are not in their favour.

GB 23 C 10912 ISR Cock
Our Barker colony are of the “Croston” Barker origins which hail from the Lancashire are of the UK, having originally come down through the Edmonson Barkers that arrived in the UK around 1900, with the principle birds coming down the line of “Strinsdale Queen”.
Tuplin, Orrett, Hogg, Roanes, Eastham, Baldwin, Blackstone and Bullen were all flyers of derivatives descended of this family and they excelled from 70 to 700 miles on the UK racing circuit. Our specific family of Barkers are descended from the Kenny Hogg lofts – he competed with that list of fanciers above and was the most winning of them all, particularly at the distance from France.
This bird is predominantly a Barker based pigeon, containing all of the old Croston Barker lines through Kenny Hogg / Martin Healy lines, including the famous "O2" Cock - responsiible for many French pigeons into Northern Ireland over the past 20 years. Known to be competitive over both short and long distance races, these birds prefer it when conditions are not in their favour.

This is a superb example of the best of the Croston Barkers when paired to the very best of the Hector Cordner colony of specialist long distance pigeons. Hector has the distinction of winning 2 national races with the only bird on the day on both occasions, in what were "stinkers" of races. The Barkers are relatively "pure", as they haven't had a cross since sometime in the '60's, whereas the Cordner pigeons are a combination of Busschaert and Theelan pigeons - all long distance racing strains known to persevere on the toughest of days and races.
