I am happy to introduce Sandy as our new bulletin editor. Brian said he would continue with it
until we found a new editor and Sandy said she would take a turn at it. Lets all support Sandy
in the coming months with lots of written material for her to put in the bulletin. I want to
especially thank Brian Magee who has put out the bulletin for us for a number of years and
has really done a great job in his service to the club.
Stating that I hope many of you take a turn at serving the Club in some way whether its writing an article
for the bulletin or serving as a board member, district director, or member in charge of a show in your
area. The club always needs members to do a little service to keep going. A person can come into a club
and not do anything to help at the shows or write something in the bulletin and wonder why there is no
information on the breed or much in the bulletin when it should be everyone’s club, and everyone’s news
bulletin. Not everyone can type fast but if you can put a few words down as you would speak them in a
conversation and send them to Sandy for the next bulletin you have pitched in and helped out. Anyone
and everyone can put something in the bulletin.
When you show your birds at a show, or help out at a show you are helping the club. Clubs are all about
people, participation, camaraderie, working together, having a common cause, and lending a hand whether its with a spare bird ,or setting up the judging area at a show.
Wow, is about all I can say about the start of this year. I thought the weather was bad last year and I got
a very late start to the breeding season. Nothing compared to this year.
The end of March and I have 2 babies in the nest not banded yet. I had one other one banded but unfortunately we had a few more nights below zero which was too much. The hen sat well but the male during
the day was less than helpful by not being tight on the youngster as it started to feather out.
The weather was so bad and snow so deep that I made an attempt to get rid of enough birds to get the rest
all in one loft in the worst part of the winter. I sold some and the rest of the breeder pairs I couldn’t get
rid of so I had no choice but to cull them. That was kind of a shame because they were near perfectly
marked. Now I am getting calls looking for birds LOL. Well I have never been one to be a pigeon seller.
I can’t afford to have birds hanging in the loft for potential sales. The floor space is very important to me
to keep the birds healthy. The number one problem we have with pigeon health is overcrowding. Keeping
birds that have no potential around till fall is possibly endangering my top birds and breeders.
As far as markings go I always hear people turning down birds that have too many or too few colored
feathers on their wings or other mismarking. We have a very uniquely marked bird in the pigeon hobby
and one of the reasons they are being raised all around the world. After many years of breeding, all my
breeders are near perfectly marked or would be considered to fall within the standard. Out of them I get
some that are nicely marked and some that are mismarked. We will never win the battle with mother nature in the markings department. There will always be throwbacks in the ancestry that will give you a little spot of color or lace of color where you don’t want it. I have raised as many quality birds out of mismarks as perfectly marked birds so far.
Its all about raising one or two birds each year that will improve your stock. Of course the more birds you
breed from the better your chances of increasing your number of show birds .

Sometimes when buying birds you have to breed from what you can get your hands on. I had some very ugly
birds in a couple colors to start out with, and even they produced a couple birds here and there to keep moving
My black lace blonds were created from a blue lace splash hen which was half satinette and the male was an
Oriental Frill. They produced 8 young and 4 were perfectly marked black lace blonds, one was a perfectly
marked blue lace blond and the other 3 had a patch of white on the head but otherwise a pretty nice bird.
Few people would want to breed out of the birds with the white patch on the head but who would want the
complete splash hen ? Sometimes you have to work with the birds to see their potential. When you say you
would never breed from a bird with this or that or missing something here or there you have not given that
bird a chance to show you what it can produce. Only after you have bred the bird and at least switched mates
with it one time, you can tell whether the bird is useful or not. Switching mates can mean the difference between making a cull and making show birds. Some mates just click and others no matter how good they look
on paper just will not do it for you. Just give them a chance. Don’t be afraid to switch mates during the season
if you don’t see what you like. That is what separates pigeon breeders, from pigeon keepers.
The next thing I want to slip into my report is getting the #9 size band on our birds if they were missed for a
couple extra days. If they are a little older and you feel the band is a little too tight please use either vasaline or
dish soap to slip the band on. Many times just using something slippery on them will help slip the band on an
otherwise lost cause.
I stress the size 9 size classic Old Frill band now because we have run into birds with oversize bands on in the
young bird shows. That’s no fun. Just use the proper size band in our standard and there will be no problems.
We did discuss the use of oversize bands in emergency cases because at one of the shows I was talking with a
few different guys and they said that their breed allows one size bigger bands in the old bird shows. Other
breed clubs stated NO, only one size band is allowed.
After thinking about this and asking myself why we would want to allow a bigger band to be put on our birds
and the advantages of such a practice, I really didn’t think it would be good to have to deal with a couple different size bands in our shows.
I asked all our board members to give me their opinion on this and it was 100% agreement to just have the one
Classic Old Frill size band to show . Some things are best just to keep simple and easy. I will miss a band here
and there and I have most often left the bird unbanded but in other cases banded with whatever band I had
around just to keep track of the year knowing that bird no matter what it looks like later, won’t be in the show
pens. It was my fault for missing the banding age. That’s part of pigeon breeding too.
As Spring comes around (hopefully in Northern Wisconsin) we will need to think about our show calendar for
the year and judges. We need to let everyone know where the shows are at and the person to contact, or member in charge of the show for information, entry forms etc. We don’t want a last minute show to be in a members nearby area and not have them know about it.
We are sometimes asked to advertise in the show flyers and in some cases like the National Young Bird show
and Des Moines show they ask to have that ad in early so they can get it in the flyer in a timely manner. We
have agreed to continue to put ads in those two shows and if you have another show you think we should support with an ad, please let the board members or officers know and we can discuss this.
One show in particular that does a nice show booklet is the Minnesota State Pigeon Association. I have put a
personal ad in there over the years and its something if a few want to get together and do, you can contact me
and we can put something in together or as a club to help promote both our breed and help the show host keep
3
rolling.
I was asked what type of feed I use with the 30 and 40 below temps we have been experiencing up here
in Northern Wisconsin and I have to say the percentage of corn in the mix went up considerably for
two reasons. #1 is the fact that corn is supposed to create more heat for the birds and #2 in my case it is
still relatively cheap to feed. With that said I also rely on Des Moines pigeon pellets now because they
were designed for pigeons and have everything they need in the pellet. I used to use the Purina Nutra
Green and Gold pigeon pellets for years but they were getting so hard to get for me I finally switched.
Des Moines pellets were actually considerably cheaper and had in my opinion more value in the mix.
The only down side to the switch was the fact the Purina pellets were small and round in shape, and the
Des Moines pellets are the extruded type little pieces that vary in length and have more powder by the
time you get to the bottom of the bag. Other than that I was pleased that the birds took to them right
away and have thrived on the change. I also treat the birds with a small amount of mixed grains that
they enjoy. That is from Des Moines feeds also.
The birds have all done very well through this extreme weather and since the water heaters were even
overpowered by the cold and they froze also I had to haul water out each day and I only have time for
once a day so they really had to get their drink right away before it re froze again. They are in very
good shape and healthy so the weather didn’t hurt them much but it sure had an effect on me. It was
very hard to go out to the loft before work and many time shovel a big drift out of the way before even
thinking about feed and water. In some areas I gave up and used another pathway to get to one of my
lofts. That’s never happened before but it was one 4 foot drift after another and I finally gave in and
left the shortest way to the loft and came around another building where the snow was not as deep.
I usually clean the loft as I go during the winter but this year it was just to hard. Even now I can’t get
out to my field or garden to dump the manure so I have to wait a bit before doing a loft cleaning. Any
volunteers? Yep I thought so.
Anyway I hope you all have a good breeding season and raise a couple birds that you can say made an
improvement to you loft. Some are trying to create new colors and get the markings better on their
birds they have been working on so have at it and good luck !

As many of you know, my first breeding season started in the early spring of 2005. My husband, Lew,
having health problems was afraid he would have to get out of raising pigeons. A few years earlier he
had switched from racing homers to raising show birds. I volunteered to help by taking over one breed.
I had my choice of Chinese Owls, Classic Old Frills, Mookees or Modenas. At the time, I thought the
Chinese Owls were ugly, Mookees were too odd, and the Mondenas were just too big. But since then I
have come to appreciate the beauty of the Chinese Owl and the fun of the Mookee. I decided on the Classic Old
Frill because of their beauty, grace and style. My first birds that I got from Lew, Dick Bonnell and Rick Tucker
were great. That year I also got a pair of bluettes from Don Averbeck. I remember Don saying he was impressed I
seemed to know what I was looking for in a pair. He may have been just being nice to me.
I just want to take the time to thank the people who have mentored me along the way. I cannot stress enough how
important mentors are to this hobby. I have had so many questions answered and help in finding answers (which
sometime lead to more questions), all because a few special people were willing to help me. None of us can do it
alone. I have learned a lot from experienced breeders over the years, Lew, Rick, Dick, and Don. Ron Costa, Rick
Stroska, Bob Strohmeyer, Jim Osche and Harold Collett are a few others that really stand out for being helpful.
So now we are into our next breeding season and it all starts again. It seems like a late start this year but now that I
have the birds mated, all are on eggs. Hopefully the eggs will be fertile. I really enjoy watching the youngsters
grow. Then it comes time to start the culling process and that is when I truly get excited because that is when I really get to see the success of the breeding season. When I start picking my show team and deciding what I will
keep for breeding and what I cull. I personally don’t cull birds I tell Lew which ones to cull and he does it for me.

Welcome all new members & thanks for joining our club. To everyone else
welcome back for another year. I hope you enjoy 2014 in your loft & in the show
hall. You’ll find these little birds very interesting throughout the year. As we start
our 11th year as a club, we have come a long ways.
For our new members, just a little of my history. I was born on a farm, back in 1945 & stayed
on it until 1964. Then I went to town to find a job. In my Sr. yearbook in ‘63, my goal in life
was to become an Iowa Highway Patrolman. I found a Peace Officer Training School by mail,
later that fell by the wayside. I found myself working in an auto dealership, prepping new cars
& detailing used cars. From ’58 Vettes to everything else on 4 wheels. Somehow this 54 hour &
$25 a week wasn’t enough $$$. So, I moved to Mt. Pleasant, IA & found 2 jobs & more money.
Later found the love of my life & been in MP ever since. My love for pigeons started many
years ago, back on the farm when baling hay, filling the hay barns up to the top, very close to
the pigeon’s nests, seeing eggs & squabs. First, I raised rollers, then fantails plus several other
breeds & later COF’s. In 2002, Don Averbeck exhibited his birds at the NYBS in Louisville,
and then in December, Leroy Pramann & I showed our birds at the Des Moines Show. Both
shows our birds were exhibited in the Rare Breeds Section. Our birds were the instant hit of the
show; many folks were struck with awe. 2003 found us doing the things we had to do to get our
COF’s recognized with the NPA & shows of our own.
Over the past 10 years, we have gotten many things done to make our birds stand out in our
shows and on the World Wide Web. 1st was a yahoo group, then My Family website & lastly
face book. MyFamily site is for members only; the other 2 are for anybody. And most people
who see these little birds like what they see. Last year, Mike asked me if I would take over our
fund raising with our club merchandizing we have The Classic Old Frill book which we will
add to yearly. The cost of the book is $30, plus shipping/handling of $10. Also, a pocket color
book for loft & show, which will be available soon. The cost for it will be $10, plus shipping/
handling of $5.00. We also have several prints of Diane Jacky’s which she drew for club use &
all profit goes to our club to help pay our bills. These come in sizes 8.5x11 & 11x14. Due to
printing & paper costs rising they are $7.50 for the 8.5x11 & $10 for the 11x14. Shipping for
the pictures is $5.00.

New Member Quote: “Even with the brutal cold we have
been having for our area the birds are laying. The classics
were the first to lay. I have two of the three pairs mated up
and one pair has fertile eggs. The other pairs acts like they
are about to lay. I am waiting to hear from John O'Conner
before I mate up the last pair as I might be getting a pair
from him. I don't think I have had a pair of any breed that
I have raised fertile on the first round. I am
impressed. Thanks Mike for the start I am excited that's
for sure. Looking forward to Louisville.” DusƟn Page

This is a column I do in every bulletin. It’s for the members that we don’t hear from. I send an e-mail or I
pickup the phone & visit, just to keep in contact with everyone. This time I played phone tag with some of
you. Next bulletin, I’ll start about 30 days ahead of schedule.
Bob Rainy of AK: Bob & his wife Sherri have moved to a smaller house with a whole lot less trees &
leaves, he said he sent his COF’s to Colorado. It’s time to rest and smell the roses.
Jerry Brown of MO: Jerry has been having back problems & is still enjoying his COF’s. He makes the St.
Louis show yearly.
Casey Crockett of CO: Casey made it to the Grand National in OKC in OK. He has 5 pair of COF’s. He may
fly to the NYBS in October. He shared this tip with me - A 20’’ window box fan with a furnace filter on the
side held on with bungee cords will help keep the air in the loft clean. He changes the filter every 3 days. (I
should have done this 30 years ago!)
Harold Collett of IA: It’s almost April 1st & we are having very cool temps. I’m working on our 2 books so
they will be up-dated soon. I’m taking on a new hobby, wood craving, later on I’ll try to make a COF. We
have 2 trips planned this year . We are going to Michigan & Wisconsin this summer & New York City this
fall. I’m sure I’ll have some pigeon feed with me just in case I need some. I took 4# of popcorn seed to FL; I
really didn’t see to many pigeons this year. So, I brought home the seed & fed it to the wild birds in my front
yard. For some reason nothing would eat it.
It’s good to hear Sash received his $100. from the club, for the stolen prints at Louisville. I’m glad to see that
our club stood behind that.
Good luck to everyone this year in the loft & the shows you attend, I hope our paths will cross some day…
Harold Collett
My name is Anthony Allel & I am a junior member from the COF club. I am also a member of the NRTC
(Russian Tumbler) and the EOFC, (Oriental Frill) and of course an NPA member. One thing that I love about
this hobby is all the help and mentorship given from other Fanciers. I have learned so much quickly because of
all the mentoring given by other fanciers. I am a 9th grader in the largest and possibly hardest catholic high
schoo l(St. Francis Prep) in the country. The amount of time I can spend with the birds is limited. For that reason I only keep about 25 birds in three separate lofts. I was able to get my 8 year old brother into the hobby
recently as well. He has a pair of Jacobins and a few homers for them. I personally have approximately 11
homers,8 Russian tumblers, 2 Blondinettes (oriental frills) and a pair of black lace Satinettes. I personally think
the classic old frills are easier to raise than the Oriental frills. However, there is very limited competition in the
tristate area. For these reasons I do not show the classic old frills. I do however enjoy them very much. And I
think anyone that has frills should consider themselves very lucky to own such a majestic bird. By the Way, I
owe Harold Collett a lot of credit for helping me getting started in the club and with the frills. Thanks Harold!

Feature Variety : Blue Lace Satinette
2013 NYBS Champion owned by
Sash Petkovski
Standard - Satinette Addendum
<http://www.classicoldfrill.org/standard_satinette_addendum.htm>
COLOR STANDARD: Variation in color markings in the several varieties of Oriental Frills.
GENERAL: Color markings in Satinettes and Blondinettes are identical except for the color
white. In Satinettes the head, neck and breast, body under parts, muffs and the primary flights
10x10, not less than 5, must be white. The beak is pale flesh color, and the eye very dark brown.
The wing coverts (including lesser, median and greater coverts. tertials, scapulars, and secondary wing flights) and tail feathers of the Satinette are identical to those of the Blondinette of the
same color. The Blondinette, lacking the designated white areas of the Satinette, is essentially
the same color throughout.
Ground color of the laced or spot feathers of both Satinettes and Blondinettes should be as clear
white as possible except in the case of sulphur varieties described below. The laced feathers
have quills of the basic color of the bird. Lacing or edging, whether heavy, medium or fine, penciled, arrow pointed or ticked, must be distinct, even regular and well defined.
BLUE LACED SATINETTES: Each colored feather of the wings should be edged in the grey
-black or blue-black color of a normal checkered pigeon. This edging must be even whether
penciled, arrow pointed, or ticked, preference to be given in the order named. Tail, dark blue,
having a black band at lower extremity. On this band, or replacing it evenly in each feather,
should be a clear round white spot," moon", or bar, clearly defined and limited to the band area.

The blue Lace variety goes through a drastic

see if it will be properly laced. The photo of

Read conversations like the one below about COF
Suzan Dahlen I have a question and need some opinions. I am not sure how to word
this right. I found someone who has Classic Frills for sale, but should my new hen be
relatively close to the same in coloring and markings as my current male? I know for
showing they should be almost identical, but if I purchase a new mate for my male,
my daughter can not show them this year anyways. She can just show the off-spring. I
just do not want to end up with some new color on a bird and have nothing showable.
Sorry, I am trying to figure out how to word this right, hope it makes sense to someone.
Comments:
x Harold Collett We are always looking new colors.... Use whatever is available...
x Pearlie Guerzo I heard you don't want to mix the spot tail type with lace tails, or blondinettes with white
bodied ones.
x Mike McLin Over the years I have had to use on several occasions what I had, to mate up my birds. I
could not get black lace blonds so I used an oriental frill crossed to a satinette Classic hen. That was my
start for black lace blondinettes on Classics. Ok? So that was a satinette, (white body) mated to a blondinette (black body). Out of that pair I got 8 young, 5 were perfectly marked blondinettes (black lace bodies) 3 had a patch of white on their heads. I got rid of those. So percentage wise, I got my black lace
blonds going from crosses with birds they tell you not to cross. Spot tails to lace tails I did the same thing.
I did not have a black lace tail satinette cock bird so I crossed the nice black lace tail hen with the blue
lace spot tail cock and got a few black lace tail males out of that breeding to continue on with black lace
tails. I never listen to the naysayers anymore. Just do it. Yes you will get some miss marks but you now
what? You will also get some good ones too. I get mis-marks from my champions so what is the difference? That’s what pigeon breeding is all about. VERY, VERY few people can tell you what you will get
out of a mating, mainly because they have never done it to find out. They just heard that it doesn't work
and continue the myth. GO FOR IT!
x Suzan Dahlen Ok, thanks. I just know for 4h purposes they want the cock and hen to be as similar as possible in coloring. That is why I was asking about mixing colors and markings.
x Mike McLin To breed similar colors together is what might be ideal but like I said you don't have to to
get good babies, Some color varieties are actually improved by crossing. Just saying ! We have all the experts
who have never bred the classic old frill and don't know the genetic make-up who will tell you to never cross
this or that. But the people who ACTUALLY have bred them and banded 700 to 800 youngsters and tried
x Mike McLin By the way, I can absolutely guarantee you will breed mis-marks with similar colored birds
as well as good ones.
x Pearlie Guerzo Mis-marks abound... I've had people tell me a good body type is good to have as a foundation, & colors can be worked on secondary... I think just about all mine are mis-marked... Some worse than
others.
x Suzan Dahlen Thanks everyone. I am just going by what I was told through my 4h program. No one
shows pigeons in my county anymore, so I have no one to turn too. That is why I joined this group for all advice. Trying to look out for my daughter when she shows That is why I joined this group for all advice. Trying to look out for my daughter when she shows and not trying to undermine anything that anyone tells me. It
is just hard to find any Classic Frills for sale, and I just want to make the right choice when the opportunity
comes my way to buy a hen. I appreciate all that everyone has shared with me about this beautiful bird!!

Mike is! According to this post from the Members Only website “MyFamily” after he went to the Oklahoma City Grand National Show and met Bill Burnside.
Make said “I saw this guy taking photos of a bird and I made a comment and he introduced himself. I
was honored to meet a guy who goes way -way above the norm on promoting the pigeon hobby. I have
followed Bills exploits helping kids with birds and getting the hobby well known to non pigeon people
around the country. After talking a while he gave me his Pigeon Ambassador button which I wore most
of the show. Really a nice guy to have in the hobby. He mentioned that Harold Collett and him had
lunch together on one of Harold’s trips south. “- Mike (Taken from the Members only MyFamily website)
