This should look interesting in the race crate...Here's one of my baby homers. The first Andalusian I've had. His color is pretty neat
 Can't wait to see him when he gets bigger. I let my Old Birds mate up however they wanted, and let them all raise a round. When I saw my only black hen mate up with one of my indigo's, I was pretty excited hoping I'd get lucky enough to have this color on the first try. It's nestmate is a blue check with bronze. Here's mom and dad: Squirt  John Deere

I always thought checks like that were pretty cause the feathers are half blue and half reddish. Indigo changes the normal black bars and checks into a rust color, and also washes out the tail bar. I guess it's one of those colors you either love or hate. I know some people who think it's ugly. I really like them though Indigo can go on any color, but shows up best on blues like this. On red it just makes the red and gray deeper and on brown it does basically the same thing.

Yep, there can be Indigo Saddles
I actually had/have some Indigo splashes. They weren't quite saddles, but they had a lot of white on them! White is another thing that can end up on any color/combination of colors.Renee, well last year we had a few young birds that were much bigger than all the others. We called them our "tractor birds". So me and my dad picked names for the big birds so he'd know who I was talking about. They were John Deere, UPS, and FedEx

She may have indigo in her, or it could have came from the dad. He could be pretty much anything under all that white.

Gorgeous! I always let them pick their own mates (obviously I don't show or race lol) and in the past it's been fun to see the combination of breeds they pick, and the babies that came out!
