yellows

[Guest Vic]

The Fifer! Yellows are obviously not banana coloured, but when you see  a proper one, you will never forget the colour. It seems that many of you have never seen a true yellow. Vic.

so what is a true yellow ????

 

 

[Guest Vic]

As i mentioned previously, surely someone, somewhere, can show us all,  the  colour of a true yellow. Vic.

so what is the colour of a true yellow Vic??????

[Guest Vic]

 

It is nearer to a silver than a red. Vic.

[Guest beautyhomer]

the fifer's yellows are dilute ash red checkers but they are still true yellows no matter what some of you think.

The other type of yellow as I have previously posted is a dilute recessive yellow.I have found a pic of a modena on the internet.Both colours are true yellow just a different genetic make up.

Not to be rude but they just look like light reds to me.

Ive never seen a yellow though

 

As I have posted before yellows are dilute reds.The key word being dilute, so they are bound to look like light reds because that is what they are.Reds and yellows have the same colour gene but yellows also have the colour modifying gene dilute.

Its not rocket science : :

remember back in the sixies a fancier who raced yellow kirkpatricks and did realy well with them

they were a light orange/yellow colour nothing like any of the photos shown

found site about rare coloured homing pigeons

    

      Ron Huntleys Rare Coloured Homing Pigeons

  good imformation on recessive colours and photos as well

[Guest Vic]

Tickeye, put the web site on, and let us all see a true yellow. vic.

[Guest Vic]

Perhaps the one that I seen was a one off job, but a guy called Jimmy Timpson finished up with it, I think it came from theLiverpool Fed. Vic.

Tickeye, at last!  Excellent site. Cheers.  The nearest to my yellow, is termed by these  brilliant guys, KHAKI. But it's more yellower than any illustrated so far. ;D  ;D ;D   Have a look at the site, and you will see my point. Also have a gander at the  Khaki recessive red yb. That is about the nearest to the one that was called a yellow in Liverpool some twenty years ago.I still think that MY YELLOW IS MORE YELLOWER THAN THOSE SHOWN ON PIGEON BASICS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Vic.

[Guest beautyhomer]

Khaki is nothing more than a dilute brown as it states on the web page and is recognised as such the world over,not a yellow. THere is no such thing as a khaki recessive red,the photo is of a dilute recessive red which I have illustated with the modena photo allready.

[Guest Vic]

Why aren't yellows listed on the site then? Vic.

Yellow appears in the text when describing dilute reds.In genetic circles it is taken as granted that dilute reds are yellows. : :

Yellows are not listed because they are a combination of genes that are listed seperately,i.e.dilute,ash red and recessive red.

EVERYONE ELSE

there are actually three types of yellows

 

Dilute Redash which is a beautiful cream like colour

 

Dilute Recessive Red which is also a Beautiful colour

 

Extreeme Dilute blue - this colour sometimes called Ecru.  this colour is supposed to be almost white and under certain light a bright yellow.  it is not a well spread gene so i have not personally seen one

[symbro]

here is a nice picture of the recessive red on left and dilute recessive red on right

[symbro]

errr try again... that was just the recessive red...

 

here is the dilute recessive red

[symbro]

here are four websites with pictures and information

Dear Sir,

Let me point out that there is no such recognised colour legally as ECRU. The colour is "Lemon" it was discovered by me, propagated by me and named by me. The self professed geneticists who tried to steal it and change the name will never receive recognition by decent people. They have never discovered or propagated anything new in their lives. I cannot let you get away with this, and must point out they are all recognisable by having a band in the tail.

Therefore you are wrong classing it with the yellows, although you are correct in explaining it as Extreme Dilute Blue.

 

I enclose a picture of there appearance.

hi jack

        lovly looking birds interesting eyesign

how did they perform on the road

[Jack Barkel]

Hello Tic eye,

 

We have had good reports from the U.A.E. and in the USA, club, fed, and combine wins. Although the size of these organisation are not comparable with the UK.

 

The latest report from Natal-South Africa, a Lemon Cock won by 50 metres per minute ahead of the second bird. I have managed to get him back and have put him to stock.

 

Regards

 

Jack
