You like fantails then ;D ;D Runts are big old boys aren't they. Are you a member of the runt club?

That's great. What do you breed/s do you keep?

Your loft looks lovely. Will it be housing racing pigeons of fancy pigeons?

Do you just have the one pair Mark?

:P : : : :'( :'( :'( ;D

Thanks Chrissy, but the yellow rollers aren't mine. ;D

Of the dilute kind ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Forgot to add, thay are a nice pair of flying Birmingham Rollers Mark, I hope they perform well for you.

Oh please, let's not start that again? ;D ;D They are definitely yellow, dilute ash red chequer. The first photo is badge marked (white on head) would you racing guys call it pied? Not too clear on the second photo, but it looks like it is badge marked.

I'm with you on that one :D

Like I said, I was waiting for the dye to dry :D

My hotel was lovely and warm . It was the freezing cold gale force winds, but this year I have my added furry layer to keep me warm. Thank god for female hormones! ;D

No way, it's cold up in Blackpool. Was last year anyway

what about me and my friends whom I'll be with, and we don't even know you, you're very generous ;D

I don't know what they do, but I thought it was funny ;D ;D ;D

I've been waiting for the dye to dry ;D ;D

Isn't there??? ;D ;D ;D ;D

But anyhow, I was just showing you how dilute alters other colours.

Well Obviously ;D

I didn't say the two birds! The dilute indgo chequer (second pic) has quite often been mistaken for a yellow, but she isn't.

The science of colour genetics is a mind boggling subject. I think to avoid even more confusion, just simply remember that dilue red is yellow, so dilute ash red chequer is ash yellow chequer, dilute recessive red (chocolate) is recessive yellow. dilute ash red bar (mealy) is cream. How it actually gets there is up to you whether you wish to learn about it. I've attached a photo of one of my young indigo chequer hen and a dilute indigo chequer hen. She looks yellow, but she isn't.

There is no chance that I will be joining a convent now or in the near or distant future, so I'll just stick to having the superior brain ;D ;D ;D

Nope, that they don't migrate. They're all ours.

Your're right, it's the female superior brain ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
