I think this was what my first lot of birds were Snowy.  They had tails longer than a racer but certainly not fantail. There were also bits of feathers growing in all directions right down the legs.  :-/

nice looking birds though

u still got any

[Peckedhen]

Nope. They wouldn't home from far enough. If I took them out of sight of the loft, they got lost! ;D

 

Bonny faces though -they must have got them from the fantail parent. I haven't found any homing birds that are so pretty - they all seem to have the typical racing pigeon face.  Should I duck now I've offended all you racers who think your birds are beautiful!? :-/

What would be the point, F1 hybrids would probably revert to wild type.

i no a cross between a racer and a tumbler is called a rumbler.and a spanish thief pouter crossed with a horseman thief pouter is a double cross ha ha ha
