Have never seen anyone win with them yellows in nearly 40 years apart from the showracer ones :o

 

a suppose the 98% rule applies 2 in a hundred  so there wont be many

Wally Pope had lovely yellow Grooters which would win , alas hes no longer with us and you never see any advertised or in results , a few Yellow kirkpatricks have won,  one a few years ago won if not topped UNC , My Old Yellow cock won 1st and 2nd Bourge 512 miles was 2nd as a yearling 1st as a two year old plus was 6th from other 3 channel points two years on trot plus 4th wanstead flats , Kirkpaticks and the other strains arent in strains anymore so less end up in results , the yellows can have alot of defects with there sight and shape of eyes or albinos which have red eyes and are blind so not a colour i've ever had great favour for however i can breed yellows without these defects by not pairing yellows to yellows , i tend to breed far more hens that are yellow than cocks and racing widowhood i've no need to race the hens very few yellows about now that can actualy race i spent thousands at a big stud aquiring my Kirkpatrick family and whittle them down just to a few winners which i bred around , due to moving about havent had much time to put into the birds but these will win again , they won me combined adverages first year i flew widowhood and highest prize winner in club , and channel adverages year after missed one yb race and highest prize winner in club , i have retain my lines and these are still in my current loft they've won for others up to 3rd fed in Ayrshire in Scottland and have topped section for me and been 6th fed not just pretty but reliable birds

[Guest Freebird]

A yellow is a dilute red. The only difference between a dilute bird and a non dilute bird is the amount of pigment in the colour, a dilute having around half the pigment of a non dilute so I can't see why they should'nt be as good as any non dilute bird. True silvers are dilute blue. Dun is dilute black. The silvers the racing fanciers know are dilute brown ( I think!). If you want to breed yellows you must first get a dilute bird or a bird that carries dilute and breed it with another. Some birds carry dilute as you need two doses for it to show and if they have been bred from a non dilute/dilute pair they will only have one dose and therefore will be non dilute but carry it. I think the faults old yellow is talking about must have come about with line breeding to get the dilute factor. Best not to over do the in/line breeding in any animals. So just get yourself a bird or better still two (quicker) that carries the dilute factor and bobs your uncle. I have yellow tumblers and have bred youngsters from them with no problems what so ever. Have fun! (smarty2)

[owen101]

my first yellow hen

[Guest vander mungo]

don,t know this man,did you buy them. rememember the legend kilpatricks  came from abroad.

[Guest stb-]

I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE WITH A DILUTE BRED FROM  NORMAL CARRIER PAIRS ,

 

THINK A LOT ARE MANUFACTURED FOR THE COLOUR WITH NO REGARD TO PERFORMANCE
