![]() ![]() Almond color is a mutant gene and 2 Pure Almonds should not be mated together. Black to Black, Black to Red, Red to Red, Red Check to Pure black, Kite to Black, Dun or Mealy to Black or Red, Ash-Red bars to Blacks, Almonds to Kites or Mottles, Blue bars to anything and Red Mottles to Black. You can come up with 100s of different combinations with tons of different looking birds.Ĭolors I like to breed together. The Ash-Red cocks with flecking & Black hens = Black cocks, Black hens, Ash-Red hens and Ash-Red cocks with flecking. Black & Dilute = Dun all the way to LavanderĦ. Black cock and Ash-Red hen = Ash-Red cocks that carry black and all hens will be black.ĭifferent color give a lot of variables because of the color, spread, pattern, dilute, dominate and recessive genes they carry.ġ. Ash-Red cock and black hen = all young Ash-Red, young cocks will be carry Black and have the Black flecking.Ģ. White cock and white hen = all white young.Īsh-Red is a sex-linked color so different colors mating will produce:ġ. Ash-red cock and ash-red hen = all ash-red young.Ĥ. Black cock to a black hen = all black young.Ģ. Pure cock mated to the same color hens gives these colors.ġ. Pure cocks are from both parents being the same color. Spread is Masking and can cover colors and patterns. Pattern control bars, barless, check & T-checkĬocks & Hens can carry 1, some or all the modifiers (modifiers not to be confused with color) The gene pool above with the 3 basic colors gives you all the different colors and patterns we see in pigeons. Modifiers such as Spread, Dilute, Recessive and Patterns are all the main genes that modify the basic colors. Recessive Reds produce the best Red colored birds. Recessive Red in rollers is from 2 reds mated together, this combination can carry a masking gene also. Dilute gene = fading of the color (Red dilute = yellow) (Blue dilute = Lavender)ĥ. Red comes from Ash-red with the a dominate spread gene.ģ. Blue comes from a lack of the color pigment in the feathers.Ģ. Blue / Black = Black and blue are the same. Brown is the least common of all in rollers and not worth talking about.ġ. There are 3 basic colors Ash/Red, Black and Brown. The next example would be if the father is black and the mother is ash-red, all young cocks will be ash-red carrying black (with black flecking) and all young hens will be black. The best example of this is if the father and mother are the same color then all the young will be pure and the same color as the parents. The hens only get 1 color so what you see is what you get. The cocks get 1 color from the father and 1 color from the mother. Also individual breeding pens are a big help.Ĭocks can carry 2 colors and hens can only carry one color. These outcomes are from keeping good breeding records. Not a complete genetic profile by any means. This is a simple explanation on colors and color factors with outcomes from breeding rollers.
