  1. my vcr broke last year... got rid of all my tapes... figured what was the point of buying a new vcr for tapes i never watch anyways! lol
  2. ummm well it says it in the subject :*)
  3. ronnie, rentenier dark cause birds to not moult flights light cause birds to moult flights... as far as i understand... that is the only real differance
  4. here are four websites with pictures and information http://www.slobberknockerlofts.com/lazy_r_loft/ http://www.barnhartlofts.com/genetics.htm http://www.angelfire.com/ga/huntleyloft/ http://www.angelfire.com/ga3/pigeongenetics/ bottom three are genetics pages....
  5. errr try again... that was just the recessive red... here is the dilute recessive red
  6. here is a nice picture of the recessive red on left and dilute recessive red on right
  7. EVERYONE ELSE there are actually three types of yellows Dilute Redash which is a beautiful cream like colour Dilute Recessive Red which is also a Beautiful colour Extreeme Dilute blue - this colour sometimes called Ecru. this colour is supposed to be almost white and under certain light a bright yellow. it is not a well spread gene so i have not personally seen one
  8. anyone?
  9. when should you have your last young bird in the loft?
  10. i pulled a couple off last year with no problem... this year i have three i can not get off. is there a secret way?

    FEET THEORY

    Sammy, Feet Theory # 1 - length of the toes can determin sex of a chick in nest or Feet Theory # 2 - hot feet before a race which one are you asking about? everyone has theories and ideas. sometimes they work too.
  14. it has a nice eye...
  15. those are some damn good looking birds you got there beautyhomer!!! (hehe)
  16. lol dont even get me started! people like to call red bars - silvers then i wonder what do the call dilute blues... haha
  17. Stole this pic from Craig. I wonder if i painted all my dummy eggs if the birds would take them. Would be kinda neat to have pigeons sitting on golden eggs... or green eggs... or...
  18. yep. i breed race quality first and colour second. by the way. normal redash check is a red cheq to you. normal redash has nothing to do with pattern. but that is the problem with the names we all give to birds. every different group has a different name for the same bird. even different clubs in the same combine.
  19. i could get some... but there are plenty out on the web. i do not have any good red grizzles yet... i will probally next year.
  20. if i know what you are talking about... they yes the yellow would be slightly different. dilute cuts the amount of pigment by half. the dilutes your wife had were recessive reds. it is a slightly darker colour than normal reds.

  24. Redfox: those young ones were last some of last years. Half of them did well. the other half were mostly for colour and did better than expected. This years batch should do much better for many different reasons. Ed: the dominate opals (did not know i had it labled haha) is a gene. usually seen in blues but i crossed it to a red to see what would happen. it is quite dramatic looking. those two in the picture did not do well. shadow: what you call mealys are just red bars. and yes there are a couple of redbars in the pictures with the yellows (creams is just a different name for yellow) so that you could see the difference. If you cant tell the difference between red and yellow, ya might go get your eyes checked. haha there is a big difference in the pics between the two. in person they look even more different.
