color question

[cateyes]

Hello

I was just wondering is it possible for a ressive black and a total red homer to be nest mates?? Someone said recessive black does not exist, but thats what it was given to me as. Its color is kinda like a dull black color like a smokey black or fadded. Kinda like black paint that has gotten very very old and lost its initial color. I have not been able to find other pictures of birds like her so im not sure what the real name of the color is!

now this is just from my experience of breeding but i have got many different colors that i would never have guessed my breeders would have thrown out. example: my one pair of tourniers- the cock is a blue check and my hen is a blue bar, well when they had their first round the babies were totally different. one turned out to be a black and white grizzle and the other one turned out to be a red check. a lot times i've seen the breeders throw back from their ancestors. i hope that sort of answers your question.

the way you are describing the color i would just consider it a smoke black bird or if it has any other colors mixed with it then a grizzle.

Hello, Almost sounds like a dun. Res. blue is silver, Res. red is yellow, Res. black is dun. There is also many other colors out there too. You will have interesting babies. Keep us posted.

Sooty black is common in homers. Still carrying the blue line. In which black was steps per say. Light check blue check. Dark blue check. Black check Then closed pattern became black. Then refined to A deep black through the years. lavender brown dun goes with black. And you can get 2 selfs from a mating from the cock side. As they carry 2 colors. Depends how you mate the birds on how often they through a different color. After a young bird moults you will see the full adult color. It may deepan some in color after the moult. Or stay near the same.
