Haven't had anything unusual, but a couple of weeks ago, saw a brown bar youngster (never seen one before) which was the product of 2 blue bars, at a friends loft

[Guest]

A mate of mine bred in 2004 a cockbird that was blue on one wing and mealy on the other. Looked like two pigeons cut in half and glued back together. Good racer though.

BET THAT CAUSED A STIR AT THE CLUB...

[maverick]

had a bird a few years ago it was blue on one side and mealy on the other as if it had been two birds cut in half and joined together.

Me too

I have one in the nest box now at almost two weeks.

Bred one on the first round too. They are telling me it is a het griz. I think it is a double dose of the pied factor.

Got a friend with what looks like a red and yellow grizzle.Real eye catcher he reckons most of the yellow will molt out after its weaned

any pictures will be nice to see!

[jimmy white]

yes have bred some strange colours through the years ,incedently,the one that had thr red cheq on one side and b,cheq on other side ,,,,had two completely differant eyes?  ,,anyway another trait i found with the chocoatedi used to breed, as yb,s they were pure chocolate in colour, andeach year as they moulted the grew more white body and wink feathers, and at 6 yearsold were more white than chocolate,,,strange but true :)

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

I HAVE A GRIZZLE WHICH IS HALF WHITE HALF GRIZZLE HAS ONE BULL EYE AND ONE ORANGE EYE HERE MY WEIRD MEALY I THINK

[Guest]

[HERE MY WEIRD MEALY I THINK]

 

Although not pure Silver (cream / Dun), this colour is commonly called Silver. It is a Blue with Bronze/Red type coloured bars, definately not a Mealy. Its proper termination is "Indigo." This colour is common in the Janssen type pigeons, Bob Pickerings family was built around them. You also get this colour regularly from Chocolate coloured pigeons! Slatey and Schallie colours will also both produce, and come from these Indigo/Silvers. One of the best pigeons I ever had was this colour, and his nestmate was a pure cream silver! I have just got them back in my young bird race team this year! Currently have around half a dozen!

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

ok thanks what is his brother then

[Guest]

;DVelo . you could be right , a double dose of pieds to produce my white ?    andy  8)

[Guest]

[ok thanks what is his brother then]

 

He's a Schallie, slightly Pied. Two crackers they are, the two brothers! I'll bet if you look in there pedigrees you'll find either or both Andy Kozaczek and/or Bob Pickerings bloodlines! Perfection, Schallie Bange, Red Combat Hen, Old White Eyes, The Boss, Cleopatra, Officer, Salient, Frey, Freya, the Beast, etc, .......man theres loads!! If my memory serves me correctly, they go back through the Olympiad Bange of Ponderosa to the Bange 59 of Janssen brothers! The Bange 59 was the grandfather to Albert Tarletons Golden Ball, Maurice Verheye's Le Bon Reproducteur, Valentin Muller's Stamvater, and Louella's Arjan. All these four world famous producers ended up at Louella's.

Anyway, they are lovely birds mate, they should do you some good!

there janssen van den boche the first cock won 1st unflown cocks, and the red won 2nd in same class and i have two the same coulour this year and 2 from last year ;D

I think young birds can have some strange colours. I've had one or two that were bronze coloured as young birds, and moulted out coal-black dark cheq cocks.

 

Although not quite the same, I've a youngster with one of my pet hates, a blue bar with one white flight on one wing only; I find these birds can be a bit tricky to recognise out and about, you see w/f side, and say to yourself, that's w/f cock. But seen the other side and often wondered 'what's that? that's not one of mine'.
