Does anyone know what colour(s) I am likely to get from mating a yellow to a barless mealy?

 

I have a pair of barless and a pair of yellows, but each pair is closely related to the same coloured bird so was thinking of outcrossing and producing two pairs of yellow x barless mealy. Any ideas please?

ash spread or you'l get reds and mealy's and the occasional yellow the pattern on the barless mealy is a low as it can go you'l add pattern from the yellow or reduce colour it so could get yellow barred , but the ash could be lightened to silver just a guess :)

cheers for that. What's ash spread?

another term for red , I believe khaki could be possible but depends on the pattern of the yellow , also sex of each coloured bird comes into it to determine colours

Thats always a strange one, as i presume you are talking about a spread ash red. To me a mealy is a red bar so to have a barless mealy would mean you have a barless red bar, which would mean you have a barless ash red which i haven't seen a photo of yet.

 

As old yellow has said we would need to know what pattern the yellows are to know what the outcome of the ash red spread x yellow pairings would be.

cheers guys. Will definitely put some photos up. These are next years pairings so will have to wait and see.

 

I know the barless mealies aren't actually barless as such, but very dilute or something!!! This is why I've asked because I'm totally stumped as to what to expect.

 

The yellows are a self-yellow cock, and a yellow cheq hen.

 

The cock barless has small black splashes, and the hen is slightly pied.

 

This year the hen barless gave me a barless cock youngster when paired to a white. The youngster flew 200 miles for me this year.

 

thanks again guys

What you call barless mealies are ash red spreads, like a black is the spread of blue.

 

It also depends on what you call a self yellow? That would mean to me a yellow (any pattern) with no pied markings.

 

It all gets very complicated haha. Thats why pics would be better :)

Sorry yeah, what I meant by self yellow was more like solid yellow, no bars or cheqs. Sort of how a dark cheq is not a black but not very cheqqy!!!

 

This is getting way too complicated for me. :emoticon-0157-sun:

full yellow so would be classified as a velvet / t-pattern the most pattern you can get on a bird
