dublin boy Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 It is intresting how most of the modern day strains/families I see don't show this trait any more unless they are well advanced in years ,I do rememember years ago there seemed to be more of this type around .Why do you think that is ? Do you think it was selected against by the fanciers ,or is it just how the modern day bird has evolved over the years . just curious as to your thoughts on it . I keep a family here that show good wattle and eye cere size ,they mature quick in head qualities . they are Kirkpatrick/barker based but are a mix of whatever birds Iike the look of ,I tend to pick birds with the same qualities ,so most of the parents and grand parents have big wattles ect... Here are some photos of 2012 cocks I bred last year ,notice the tusks on the lower beak . hope the pics work ,if the don't bear with me and ill try again.

OLDYELLOW Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Think it's manly selection not many like them guess like everything else it's down to fanciers choice I like the big wattled cocks and the tusk hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks paddy ,Yes mainly for looks and colour ,Most have not been tested for generations , though I have given some of my old tuplin barkers out to friends that race .some have done well when crossed ,One guy has some 3 year olds from me that will be tested to france next year .

paddymac Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks for the info dublin boy, the Barkers must be still doing alright for your mate when their still in his loft at 3 years old. A few fanciers up here in Derry had good results in days gone by into the N/west, not too many about these days. Where did your Kirkpatrick pigeons originate from ??, I still fly them in my race team and they can hold their own against the best when it comes to the channel races.

No problem Paddy ,Yeah he said they have done England to Ireland so far ,and was happy with them , and was waiting til they were 3 yrs old to send them to france which will be next year so it`ll be intresting to see how they get on .Some of my kirkpatricks I picked up here and there ,But most came from a man that lived in Co.Carlow I did`nt know him personally but when he passed away I was asked by his son in law to rehome his birds ,they were all yellows ,I picked what I liked and parted with the rest ,but not much information on them at all .

paddymac Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 That is a beauty Brian and in cracking condition, you certainly look after them well, the colouring of the hen is class :emoticon-0137-clapping: do you know what age she is ??

She`s an 04 paddy and still filling her eggs ,She does have a ring on its hidden under her feathered legs ,She is split for recessive white ,and rec red which means when put to the right cocks she throws pure whites with bull eyes and the choco mueleman type reds .

paddymac Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thanks Brian, I like the yellow and choco coloured birds, I have a few pair of west of england tumblers as well as my race birds and I have a few yellow and reds amongst them. At the moment their just sitting about in the aviary but I hope to eventually get involved with the show side of pigeons but I'm sure you know yourself that theres not much of a show scene up here in the North.

I keep some fancies too paddy , Irish Flying Tumblers ,and Spanish Theif Pouters .I like the wests but have never kept them .The show scene in general in Ireland isn't very big say compared to the u.k , but yeah more down here than up the north .Still good fun ,and something to do during the winter months .
