pigeonman007 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 Hi I have aquired a yellow (red) kirkpatrick hen, lovely looking bird. Just wondering the best partner for her really, I have a blue cheq kirkpatrick cock bird, would that pairing produce more of the yellows possibly?
OLDYELLOW Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 silvers would be more likely but you may get as many yellows
pjc Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 A yellow hen will not produce yellows unless the cock carries yellow or the cock is a dilute, i.e silver!
just ask me Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 do u have a pic please dont think i seen a yelow
ALF Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 I got 2 yellows last year 1 off a cheq hen & mealy cock ( cracker that young mick got ) and the other off a grizzle hen now sent on and a red cock...
Guest the gers Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 You will get yellows even if the cock was black.
ALF Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 try this one! Thats not a racing yellow though Chris!!!
carlsberg Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 how many more do you want carl!! how many you gonna give me ;D ;D
OLDYELLOW Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 mine will do 500 miles on the wing show racers will do that back and fourth in a basket
ALF Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 mine will do 500 miles on the wing show racers will do that back and fourth in a basket I like it ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
pjc Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 No such breed as "Show Racer", they are racers bred to improve feather quailty and conformation! They will also fly and I have raced them to 460 mile!
pigeonman007 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Posted October 3, 2008 I'll post a pic tomorrow if I get chance, mine is a bit darker than the pic above
OLDYELLOW Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 but there physical attributes are selected and not there racing abilitys , but your right most would probably race i'd like mine not so front heavy tho
ALF Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 I'd like to know how many of them were in the result from the gold cup race in the NFC this year???
pjc Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 she had been fed, they are not front heavy and must, for me have a good width of back, a bird that tappers to nothing goes to the ferrets!
pjc Posted October 3, 2008 Report Posted October 3, 2008 horses for courses Alf, they are kept for the pen and not there racing ability but they will fly if you want them to and I have won with them in the basket!
