AU-2018 HANG 5 Blue Bar Hen "Ersa"
(Kees Bosua & HFL Janssen)
"Ersa" is a very good flying hen that won 3rd Club Champion Old Bird 2019. She is a Direct Daughter of "Zeus" & "Bella" two of my very best all-time foundation breeders. "Ersa" has mostly sat not being used and has been bred from very lightly as I was already breeding from 6 siblings over the past few years and just never could find room to breed her. In very limited breeding she has produced a couple Equal 1st Club Winners.
As a Yearling in Club Only on South Course "Ersa" won:
3rd Club Champion Old Bird 2019
Equal 1st Club @ 169 Miles vs. 131 Birds/4 Lofts
Equal 1st Club @ 201 Miles vs. 124 Birds/4 Lofts
Equal 1st (2nd in clock) Club @ 190 Miles vs. 34 Birds/4 Lofts
2nd Place Club @ 285 Miles vs. 63 Birds/4 Lofts (Tough Race)
21st Club @ 151 Miles vs. 134 Birds/5 Lofts
Her Father "Zeus" was a 2x1st Combine Winner and 2nd Sprint North American Ace Old Bird. More importantly he along with "Bella" are two of the best foundation breeders all-time in my loft.
Brothers/Sisters of "Ersa" have won an incredible (45+) x 1st or Equal 1st + (7) North American & CA State Awards, 1st/1st/2nd/4th/5th/7th Overall Champion Bird Awards, and multiple 1st One Loft Winners.
A Full-Sister "Penelope" won 1st Overall Concourse Champion OB vs. 43 Lofts, 9th All-Distance CA State Hall of Fame, 1st Concourse @ 400 Miles, etc. "Penelope" has bred several 1st Place Winners + 5th Club Champion Old Bird.
Full-Sister "Miss Mayberry" won 1st Overall Mayberry Classic Ace Pigeon 2016. She has since bred 1st Place @ 350 Mile Final & 2nd Ace Pigeon Arizona Classic 2017, Equal 1st @ 327 Mile Final Trapper's Loop Challenge 2021, 19th @ 312 Miles Plymouth Peak 2024, multiple 1st Club Winners + 4th Champ Bird.
Half-Sister "Maria" won (5) North American & CA State Awards as a YB & Yearling and (5) x Equal 1st Combine + 2nd Overall Combine Champion Young Bird and 3rd Overall Combine Champion Old Bird. Super breeding hen since.
Half-Sister "2271" won Equal 1st @ 325 Mile Final + 12th Ace Pigeon Golden Valley Late Hatch Classic 2021.
Another Half-Sister "37829" won 7th Place ($6000) Final Race 325 Miles Golden Valley 2022 (a year after her sister).
Half-Sister "Hang 88" won 11th AU National Ace Yearling and (5) x 1st/EQ 1st Combine including 1st Combine @ 400 Miles.
Full-Sister "Camilla" won 4th & 7th Combine Champion Old Bird in consecutive seasons plus (2) x 1st Place Combine. She has since bred 1st Club Champion Old Bird 2019, multiple 1sts and multiple Top-5% Clockings in the Apple Cup OLR.
Full-Brother "Zyzz" was also a good flyer and has bred winners.
Additional Brothers/Sisters have also bred been 1st Combine Winners, bred winners, etc.
"Ersa" was bred in an individual pen. She is a beautiful powder blue hen that handles great like both parents. She is medium to just below in size with a strong body and great muscle, soft feather, a nice vibrating wing, strong frame/back, and really nice rich orange eyes. She shows great character and responds very well to the beak pull test. She is only for sale because I am drastically cutting down on birds because I moved and did not have room to keep her for next year.
