Dont get me wrong he is 1 of the best show men in Britain!!!!

I only know John through the shows and not sure how well he does racing but the birds he gets in the supreme champion class at Blackpool are flown birds.

i could show a flown bird at Blackpool aswell as they say it only has to fly 80mls

Have a go Alf, you never know!

Hi
I have aquired a yellow (red) kirkpatrick hen, lovely looking bird.  Just wondering the best partner for her really, I have a blue cheq kirkpatrick cock bird, would that pairing produce more of the yellows possibly?

would i be right in saying that any yellows this pair produced,, would be hens??    b,check cock paired with yellow hen

yup yellows would be hens and silvers also hens but reds and blue chequers be cocks

Quoted from OLDYELLOW

yup yellows would be hens and silvers also hens but reds and blue chequers be cocks

Is yellow sex linked, and some of the cocks would be carriers?

what about any pure white kirkpatrick  ,  had a cock bird but lost him training jon

If you lost it dont worry anymore

     always worry about  lost   m8   jon

the yellow gene i believe is a faulty gene between two colours red a white white been a lack of pigment and the yellow been a faulty pigmented red indeed yellows will bred both whites and reds the reds more chocolate but the yellow gene although not visable / dominant is carried by birds it breeds like silvers and silvery reds

2 of our silver hens

Also depends on what traits the cock carries. What if the cock also carries dilute? Cocks also carry another colour, don't they? I find genetic stuff very hard to grasp but fascinating.
