Grizzle bluecheck mix+bluebar=?

[clucklebeed]

Hi, could somebody tell me what the baby would look like if I bred these two birds? I have a mixed female between a grizzle and a bluecheck, not exactly a darkcheck, with a white head and white flights, and a male pure bluebar. Look in my album for pics. (survivor and warrilthe2nd)

it doesnt matter what you breed together you could end up with anything

Thanks for telling me that. I was kinda thinking it would be a silvery shaded bird with a little bit of white on it's head and white flights with a slightly thick bluecheck pattern. Check my album for a painting I did on it.

It's not there yet though, but be patient. I'll upload it soon.

Hi CHUCK, Here again I would like to see a picture of this bird. A pigeon can not be a mixed grizzle as grizzle is always grizzle so this bird is grizzle or it be just a plain check splash.When mating a grizzle to a non grizzle you should get one grizzle in the nest the other young will not be a grizzle, You must also understand that grizzle is not a color but that it is modifier that hides the true color of the bird ..GEORGE

look at the survivor pics in my album, and I read somewhere online that when a grizzle mates with any kind of check they make some sort of mixed pattern.

Why don't you post the pictures here, makes it easier. Anyway, what George is telling you is true, provided the bird is het grizzle in the first place. 1/2 the young will also be het grizzles. Having some splash or pied makes no difference, just adds more white which may or may not also pass on to the young. There are many factors that cause white patterns and markings and they don't all work the same way.

Grizzle with check or t pattern makes more of a tort grizzle. If you post the photos here, we can all look them over and have a better opinion of what might happen.

I've tryed to put up pictures, but it askes for a URL, and I don't have any of my pictures on websites, or anything, if thats what it's asking for.

[clucklebeed]

Okay, heres some pictures I took just this morning.

[jbangelfish]

I don't see any grizzle. You could get blue checks and bars from this pair, provided that the check carries bar or barless. The pied markings may or may not carry through to the young, likely that it would.

Thanks, that was what I was kind of thinking too. But the father of the bird was grizzle. Here are its mother and father.

I still don't see any grizzle but it is possible that the father has alittle showing. It may just be a broken pied marking as well. In either case, the youngster did not get any grizzle genes that we can see.

Yes, I've never really thought of it as grizzle, but I did have one starnge bird that seems similar to a grizzle. Do you know what pattern this bird has?

[george simon]

Hi CHUCK, This last bird is just a blue checkGEORGE

[clucklebeed]

Okay thanks for telling me that, some one told me it was a dark check. Do you have any info on what will be going on at the meeting in San Diego this weekend?
