Over the winter months we are once again offering a small selection of stock birds that are still within their prime, all the birds have had an exceptional moult and were fully fertile in 2024. Most of the birds on offer will be direct Syndicate Lofts pigeons, plus a sprinkling of others that we have spent a large amount of money to put together. Now that we have bred plenty from these pigeons for our own purposes, we feel that the time is right to let some of these go whilst they are in the prime of their life, fully of vigour and ready to continue breeding high quality young birds for their new owners.

These birds we have cultivated over the years to make a very consistent race team that hold their own in both club and federation level from 70 miles up to 400 miles.

We are only a small back garden loft that races 18 widowhood cocks and 22 widowhood hens and house 12 pairs of stock birds, with 30 young birds being bred to race each year. We also sell our young birds from our race team and have excellent results reported year on year from all over the UK.

The past 4 years have been excellent years for us winning the following as club level: (149 prizes)!

19 x 1^st

34 x 2^nd

23 x 3^rd

22 x 4^th

24 x 5^th

27 x 6^th

The birds on offer are all started at modest prices to give everyone a chance of getting a bargain – Don’t be put off by the low starting price – They birds are class and will grace any loft.

The photographs have all be taken by my phone and don’t do the birds the justice they deserve, but one thing for certain is there in no doctoring of the photos.

Buyer to arrange carriage, but we are more than happy for the winning bidders to collect (we have nothing to hide here) or can take to the Doncaster for collection!
