1980 he won Rennes with, I think, a red hen ???? :-/

Ian Noble of Ayrshire has them.  I think they originated in USA and are genetically modified, but he has the info.

 

ORGANIC ONE'S FOR ME. ;)

Sounds very interesting . Does anybody by chance have any photo,s of these birds .

 

How often will this colour occur out of how many attempts should one try this ?

How do these birds perform during races or is it for Pigeon shows .

Barless is an allele of chequer and bar and is recessive to both.    The true barless cannot be produced by crossing other colours and patterns i.e. mealy and black, the "barless" produced from this mating is spread ash-red, also called "lavender", and is not genetically barless.  

To breed barless blue pigeons a barless blue is required;  first cross blue bar x barless will produce barred young, these will all carry barless.   Mating two of these carriers together will produce approximately 25% barless; barless to barless-carrier will produce approximately 50% barless.

Alternatively if a pure (homozygous) chequer is used in the first cross, the resultant young would be chequer carrying barless, these then mated to blue bars would breed blue bars and blue chequers, all the blue bars would carry barless, as would some of the chequers, but a percentage of the chequers would carry bar.   Mate the blue bars together and 25% barless are produced.
