The Red Ck today with his hen, he's driving her hard just now.

He looks a cracker John and the hen looks top notch

Never heard of this spread thing. I hope your not spreading a load of nonsense.? Thats what it sounds like to me.

look up genetics quite a few good sites covering it out there but certainly not nonsense just for you found an article on the spread gene enjoy reading http://www.angelfire.com/ga3/pigeongenetics/Spread.html

blue bar or dark chequer carrying spread will breed t - pattern

 

 

Very nice, mate.

[Dave barrie]

ive been told black splash is only in cocks yet i had a very good hen that had the black splash through her, also i find it very hard to get returns of mealy or red birds from racing, the ones that have got back have allways been badly hawked, is it a coulor thing with predators i wonder, atb davie.

Didnae get him until next day but considering he is an 09 latebred and he had already done Marlborough i'll forgive him coming late, just this once though

I know a VERY good fancier who spent top dollar buying a Chequer Cock from a Red hen.

but that is possible ,

but that is possible ,

I'm sure John meant a Bl.Ch. and that's not possible

Ash Spread carrying black i.e. barless mealy in looks is top of the table in colour, best way of getting beetle Blacks with extremly good colour.

Spread is the intense colour, lots of Black spreads around ebony, van reils etc, just firms up colour into a deeper colour.

Impure Blacks are Cqs or Bars in some you see the bars, hens that are ticked are not carring any colour other than the colour they are, the tick is brown to the eye but is infact red.

Dark Chq will do the job if no Black is at hand.
