This past month Bruce Howery and His Grandson Mason and myself took a road trip to Roswell New Mexico to visit Robert Contreras who has been ill for a few months upon arrival we watch two kits fly in the first was this Red Saddle cock that came out rolling like crazy along with several others 3 of them doing 60 ft. or more this cock was doing 30 ft. and more about every min and half had to have him-- also load up 4 more cocks and 8 hens- Bruce took about 60 birds and we loaded up some more for a newbie in all we loaded up more than 120 birds-- Had a great time saw 2 nice kits had a good lunch then the long drive home-- THANKS ROBERT & GOD BLESS

Hi Cliff: He has a mix of several Lines that He Flies--- Not For sure which line this bird is from- most of what I got are to be used as feeders -except this cock an a hen Bald Red Ck. w/f w/t Clyde Davis line,other hens are 1 Ken Easley line 1 Rick Mee line 5 Robers line= other Cocks 3 Ken Easley line and 1 Roberts-- He Told me that if I need more info on birds that just call has info on all his birds that are banded was ill for some time this year and didn't band them all- I only got 08 or older birds.Cliff don't have many from your line in way of young ones cat got in kit box twice once while on vacation in 3 days killed 12 young after I got back he got 8 more. but still have 8 and they are nice ones 2 Blue bar self - 1 Dark Blue Ck self, 2 Black Beards W/F, 2 Blue Bar Beards W/f, 2 Red Ck Beards w/f last 4 are just starting to fly But rest are all 20 footers or more. I'm in process of building new loft more like Kenny's with every thing all in one building kits boxes and all- European style I think you call it will have 3 kits boxes in it 6 individual Breeder cages 2'X2'X3' and a 5'X8' open breeder loft for feeders with 12 nest boxes 4'X3' Aviary this one has no traps to open just 1 Door every thing in and out it only!!! Thanks again Cliff for your Help!!!

Hi Rudy- Yes your right Bruce and I both try to load up your Red bird but Robert keep a close eye on us I think that was the only one he keep out of that kit . Had a great time saw some really nice kits fly and truly enjoyed our time there. Hope to go back.
