It looks like an Opal but may be a barless but what colour were the parents both blues? MJB

[OLDYELLOW]

Ash red hardly rare

[bibendium]

that was my thoughts opal or a silver

[blaz]

ash red

[BIGPETE]

Mother was a black slight pied x red cheq father.

 

So could be a lot of things, but was just curious if anyone knew. 99% of the team are blue's n cheqs so this one fairly stands out haha.

[Michael J Burden]

it is a barless then MJB

Ash red hardly rare

Correct mark not rare at all , I've had quite a few over the years , g,Dtr of d delea,s Barcelona billy was an ash/slate/Barless mealy , but she bred all sorts , the same as her ,blacks ,silvers , and a few dun,s ,

Lol pete, I don't know where these other fanciers mark their pigeons, but if you was marking your birds in London, we'd think you was taking the Micky tryna mark a wood pigeon, but saying that a red or mealy is rare down in the big smoke

Ash red and black criss cross the colours when paired together if father is red bird in picture has to be hen

[indigobob1]

The ash-red spread baby from a pairing of black hen and red chequer cock could be either sex. The sex-linked mating between these two colours would be blue/black cock X ash red hen; all ash-red (spread ash, barless mealy, ash-red chequer, etc.) progeny would be cocks, the blues would be hens.

Any black flecking/ticking on the above squeaker would indicate that it is a cock, ash-red hens occasionally have brown/dun flecking.
