Below you will find photos and descriptions of our Macaloney pairings, with a few select additions directly from Youri Deblanc. Many of our pairings are switched up every year to truly get a good test of each bird. I do not have every pair listed below as I am breeding from children of these pairs as well.
The birds listed below are what I consider our best birds although we do breed from about 15 total pairs. I am increasing my stable of the brilliant performance pigeons from Macaloney in Scotland. They have had an immediate winning impact in my loft. We have children of Double Vision, Blue Caviar, Troy, Black Caviar, Denman, Vision 772, Shergar line, the Supermac line and Janefield Amal line. Please contact me if you are interesting in those crosses or any of them bred straight.
New in 2025 we are adding a few new imports from Youri Deblanc of Belgium. He is successful at the national level many times over in the long, hot, and headwind races. We have children and grandchildren of his superstars Crack Julien, Star Julien and his 1st National Bergerac winner, Son Eagle Eye Julien.
Scroll to the bottom of the page for details on purchasing from these pairs.
Most of these pairs will produce racing pigeons that carry the LDHA, DRD4 (dopamine receptor), and CRY-1 genes which have proven to have an influence on the performance of racing pigeons. Prices will reflect the performance of the pigeon plus the rarity of the gene combinations. More genes and more performance will be reflected in the cost of the pigeons.
Pair 1: Stirling Kastle x Baker’s Revenge
After three successful years in 2019, 2020, and 2021, I’m putting this pair back together to replicate the great racers and breeders they produced in those years. A huge portion of our wins are coming from children of this pairing. They offer toughness and consistency as young birds. Hands down, one of my most best cocks with a high strike rate.
Sire: Stirling Kastle 17 SU 2125. He is a son of two of Macaloney pigeon’s best, Troy and Black Caviar. Stirling is fast becoming, if not already, the Number One breeding cock in our loft. Just look at these results from 2021 alone. His children are breeding exceptionally well also.

Pair 2: Claymore x Sainz 204
Just like the #1 Piar, after three successful years in 2019, 2020, and 2021, I’m putting this pair back together to replicate the great racers and breeders they produced in those years. A huge portion of our wins are coming from children of this pairing when they are mated to children of Stiling Kastle x Baker’s Revenge. Claymore’s children are fast and consistent and are good for 350 miles in headwinds.

Pair 6: Cutlass x Fantastic 4
It’s that time of year when the hopes for the next racing season are born. We always have that one or two special new pairs that are a culmination of years of work, research, testing, planning and luck. These pairs don’t always work out as planned, but they do give us the fuel to keep trying and working to be better. There has to be some reason we trudge outside in the freezing cold to feed, break the ice, and check the eggs.
This pair is one of those pairs.. I raised these two and they both raced in Ohio as young birds. My goal is to consistently create pigeons that can race 350 miles in headwinds and these did exactly that. Now I can only hope that their babies can do the same. It will be a long 10 months before we find out!
An uncle x niece pairing is also an integral parting my breeding strategy to keep the best genetics tight and consistent. I believe that inbreeding and line breeding is most successful when using birds that have proven to have the genes you need.

The Recessive Opals
Winning lines of Eisenhower, Jester, Carrie, Golden Gaby and more.
I have a handful of recessive opal and cherry birds (also called mosaics to the Brits and racing pigeons folks). It is a recessive color and the gene has to be present in both parents in order for the children to show the color. Our recessive opals (see more photos here) will have the blood of Shadow, Eisenhower, Jester, Carrie, Lady Spirit, 90 Cock, Golden Gaby, Joint Venture, etc. These birds are winning in my club and one placed in the money in the 2016 Dixie Convention Race. Some of the recessive opal birds we are breeding from includes A cock (Kastle 1418) and another hen (Kastle 1616) will be from Kastle Einstein x Kastle Black. The second cock is a product of Golden Gaby x Lady Bliksem and the 90 Cock x Lady Spirit. Babies from Kastle 1418 have been racing very well earning diplomas in my club and winning some money in an auction race in North Carolina.
Check for availability and specific pricing. Babies will be starting at $300. Raced young birds will be more.
Terms
We will not be raising many extra late hatches unless someone has asked us to. If you see something you are interested in, I would highly recommend talking with me about it before I split up my breeders. It is entirely likely I will have some birds to sell from my racing teams at the end of the season, but of course the prices will be higher since they will have been tested. But there will be no guarantees as to which birds I will sell from my team.
This is a racing loft, not a breeding station, and the majority of birds are being raced here at Kastle Loft and around the country in futurity and One Loft Races. If you are interesting in purchasing a baby from one of these pairings, the only way to guarantee it is to place a non-refundable deposit. I keep a close eye on the health of my breeding pairs and limit the number of babies they feed in any given year. I will not be raising extra babies from every pair just to sell.
A $100 non-refundable deposit will hold a baby for you. With a deposit, I can also put you on a waiting list in case someone backs out. By holding a bird for you, I will not make it available for purchase to anyone else while I feed, medicate and care for it. Therefore, the deposit is non-refundable. The bird(s) must be paid for in full by November 1, or I will make the bird available again for purchase. If I am not happy with the quality of the birds, I will refund your money or we can apply it to another available bird. Total balance will need to be paid before I ship any birds. I do not have space to house birds into the next breeding season. I prefer to ship the bird as soon as possible to get them acclimated in their new home. All birds will be vaccinated with PMV and KM-1.
