Our Bricoux Family

The Bricoux colony at Evolofts is comprised of both pedigree and performance. We were lucky to acquire an entire colony of Bill Kitchen Bricoux in 2020, full of Blood Red Cocks (with Black Splashes) and chequered Red Hens with the addition of some Blue, Mealy and Black coloured birds throughout. Superb wings, eyesign and feathering feature throughout the colony as do the “Ghost Heads” – particular birds with an almost Silver-like appearance of their heads – all very significant traits of the original strain.

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.

Additionally, we have sons and daughters of the 2019 winning MNFC Bordeaux race (615 miles, @ 1400ypm) at stock and a select few other birds who made the grade, performance wise, to make their way into our breeding stock.
