Some colours we are developing in our Horseman Pou

Couple of wing shots of some of our colour projects:

 

Andalusian doo, this is the sort of pattern I am aiming at in our Andalusian, nice clear lacing, good definition, and a good contrast between the colours:

 

 

 

 

These are some variations in the expression of reduced, none of these are spread factor, only cheq and bar, I have yet to combine it with spread:

 

Bar:

[Glassfeather]

Thanks guys, still a lot of work to do, but we are spreading these colours around, so hopefully they can become established in good pouter stock.

where does the Andalusian colour come from ? is it a dilute black ?

[Guest ljb107]

I believe it is a dilute black because Graeme just told me that if you pair and andalusian to a black you will get andalusians.

thought so

indigo chequer takes some beating

[Guest ljb107]

That reduced cheq and indigo cheq is unusual - they look really bright ice blue.

nice birds

[Glassfeather]

The andalusian is produced by combining indigo with spread. Spread is the gene which makes a blue bar or blue cheq pigeon black. A dilute black is dun. Pictured here is an andalusian and a dilute andalusian:

Ah right - i get it now.

[little sam]

Are these the pigeons that are used to catch other pigeons ? Heard of bird competitions in Belgium and America

[Glassfeather]

Yes Sam, these are Horseman pouters, and they are flown, mainly in Scotland, with the aim of enticing other birds back.

[little sam]

Would it work on racers, WHat is it that entices them back, I think i saw 2 different games, One where they get tbirds and one where a bird with a white fllight put into it is thrown up and they compete to get it

[Guest ljb107]

Yes, they bring anything that would be good for a mate home (ferals, racers, other pouters ect).

 

The one with a white feather in a hens tail is a suelta males compete to win her (mate with her).
