white toe nails

[schouwman71]

Regarding stock bird selection does anybody go by clear toe nail on straight coloured pigeons ie blues and cheqs with no white feathers at all for there breeding potential, ive used this method for years and must say have selected some fantastic breeders using this method,but must have more than 2 white toes on there feet.Les

yes les i do like to see stock birds with white toes only in the blues and chequers

cheers for that wiley,just somethink i caught on to years ago with my best breeding birds,as they were white toe,d and looked wierd to the others.

the father and mother of my lofts both carry this trait,also have a yb chequer cock who carries this he was my best yb this year,i will try possibly one or two out of him cos i feel this is a gd trait,but i dont think it is the be all and end all of breeding pigeons as ive had many pigeons with black toes and bred very good pigeons

i bought a blue janssen cock from janssenboy1 off this forum,he is a g.son of the ge broken poot, pouw bros no 1 stock cock and he is a light blue cock with all his toes white,its a very long time ago when i had a pigeon with all white toes and he bred winners for fun,Hop he,s the same.
