Dark Skinned Ybs

[Shortcut Lofts]

Has anyone ever heard of dark skinned Ybs being rubbish? I have been told this and would like to assure the fancier that there is no difference. Can anyone shed any light on this "Theory"?

spot on blacks have darker pigmentation so there skin is darker   sometimes some information is mis information  

[just ask me]

i think what he means is the skin colour at about 8 day old some pll dont like to see them ue in colour they like that nice pink golden looking colour some top fanicers have a belief in this

Pink skin is always a good sign of health at any age. Sick birds esp young go very grey which is normally a sign the internal organs are shutiing down and the end is near.

Exactly right, the guy likes nice pink skin at approx 6 - 8 days old and any that does not have it he kills them????

 

I did not mean Black feathered pigeons.

 

Thanks

I recall a similar discussion on here years ago, when I posted that some of my darker-coloured birds appeared to have darker skin, especially at the feather-shafts-coming-through stage, and their legs appeared darker too.

 

I think its just that - an appearance. They ended up with pink skin like the rest.

yes dark coloured squabs turn out to be dark coloured pigeons and also reds.

My birds are Krauths and the babbies in the nest are very dark long before the feathers come through
