What breed are you working with?Saddle is a marking that has been bred into several breeds, homers, fantails, shields and figuritas to name a few. This is not an easy pattern to set and many mismarks result. I think George raises saddle homers and he can tell you that even the good ones produce many mismarks.
Best bet is to find at least one saddle marked bird of the breed that you are working with if you can. Breed it to a blue pied and you'll start working in the right direction. Blue is dominant over most except ash red and as long as it's the hen that's ash red, you can still get some blues. Bill |

Sometimes you just get luckyWhen going for a particular marking, sometimes you can just combine two things or more and get close to what you were looking for. Especially with the flying breeds like homers, rollers and others where color is not their most important feature, we are free to do what we wish to try to make something. I think it's more fun that way myself. Some things just can't be made without certain genes however.
There is probably more than one way to make a shield marked or saddle marked pigeon and probably different breeds have used different genes to get the desired result. I would imagine many have started from just noticing a certain pattern evolve in a flock and working with it. Bill |

Well I find something very odd about this thread, while the question is a good question I feel that it is by a steven it shows the number of posts as n/a this led me to check into this posters profile,which I could not bring up in the normal way and had to go to the members list.This steven shows 2 post made back in 2003 it shows no thread by this person. Then there is a note stating that the last activity was 31DECEMBER 1969 this is very odd and I will not post on this thread or any other that strikes me as being odd GEORGE

Such posts are supposed to go into moderation before they hit the board. It does appear that this is happening, but it's also still a little confusing as to what is actually going on. There was one such post in the moderation queue today three times .. identical post. It was a legitimate post, so I put it on through to the board. Myself and the other moderators are doing the best we can to keep up and to keep any unwanted posts from the board. Though we have been getting whammied of late, I think we're doing a pretty good job of stopping any unwanted stuff from making it to the board. If we miss something, then report it, and we'll get it handled. Terry |
