Should She Go ?

[andy Burgess]

having looked at the youngsters for basketing tonight ,I have a hen with "pink wattles" .all others are glowing white ,should I keep her home or ? ,,,,, un-less an "old hand" tells me she,s in form ,that's my thinking ?

[Wiley]

Going to need a bit more info really Andy, is she younger? Is she just started showing out? Or is she paired? Some families come into form with a pinkish wattle but only you will know your birds, if in doubt I'd leave her out

glad this has been asked as I have a couple with pink wattles and for last few days been worrying something wrong so thank you for putting my mind at ease

[Tony C]

A hint of pink I'd send, if the pink was as pronounced as the white I'd err on the side of caution.

thanks for all the replies , I didn't send her Sapper .Wiley her family fly well for me (rare if any aren't in the mix) she is fairly mature ,not paired or showing yet. Tony C ,I would say the "pink" is pronounced ,and Wattie ,it may be due to the fact she flew 2 days ago in the rain , although non of the others seem to have this .

I have an hen who when is flying in rain her wattles vanish, she never had any wattles until around 12 months old, hence the name she has 'no wattles'

Andy I think you done the right thing a pigeon with anything other than totally Snow White wattles is not 100% healthy .( take away feeding young and flying in rain) J.M.O.
