A good friend of mine swears by this, especially if there are no pieds in the pedigree.

I heard from from good fancier that white toes on a cheq or blue would breed winners. How I do not know.

I may be wrong but think George Buschaert had a theory about birds with white nails being best breeders.

Sure somebody may have further info.

I've always been led to believe this is the case. I've sent an email to Ron Huntley http://www.angelfire.com/ga/huntleyloft/Page1.html asking if in he's opinion this is true or not.
