bullcock Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 These could make good stock birds when crossed with distantly related or full cross birds, but as for racing if they are first generation inbred (both parents aren't closely related) they should be fine for racing.I would breed off them and maybe train and lightly race them this year to see how the young birds do, if the young birds look promising you may have found a good pair of breeders.

peter pandy Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Would put the young hens to a full brother of the sire and the other to a full brother of the dam then send me a pair of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyleakin Lofts Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Doing the rounds on FB at present , dont know how credible it is though Charlie, I had a full brother / sister mating last year and all 3 rounds were ok, whereas about 5 years ago I had a cross pairing where 1 chick only had half a wing.To me this, alongside the breeding knowledge acquired after 25 years dog breeding, shows that sports can arrive from any mating.

Kyleakin Lofts Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Brother to sister is not that close. Consider the number of genes carried on each chromosome and the number of chromosomes within a pigeon. If you are into maths, the possible variations are many. The mating is fairly neutral considering no real gain is to be made from it. This pairing carried out down through the filial generations is a different matter, but we are talking about a one off, even though it may be within a family line.

I'm sure you will know what to do John . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeboah Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Paired Saddleback the cock I was 2nd Open with to his AuntThe pair from their first nest have performed wonderfully well The next two nests they produced two silver mealy s and a silver blue which will be kept as stock and crossed Both saddleback and his aunt are blues and were paired in a secure section Will take care of his son as I think he will outshine his dad Now why did I say that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Fifer Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I think a cock or hen from a brother sister pairing would be fine if the parents were good pigeons and not just putting a bother & sister together for the sake of it. The son could be put to his Auntie and the hen might be tried with her Uncle, this should give good results but you would probably have to cross them out somewhere along the line at some stage. Another way would be to put either one off the brother x sister pairing to another inbred pigeon from a completely unrelated family. The offspring would have what is called the Hybrid and although both sides are inbred you will find out the offspring have plenty of vigour! The other inbred should also be a very good pigeon or from a pair of top pigeons. It would be more of a hit or a miss when you put question mark to question mark if you get my drift! It deffo helps a lot if these inbred birds are already good or from top class performance birds! No ??? to ??? !!!Hope this is some help to you Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
