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.
