I've seen a pure black male and pure white female produce a half white half brown baby lol
That means the female is probably recessive white, and is secrely actually red. Also means it's a sex-linked mating. So all the sons will be red (with blue flecks in the tail) and all the daughters will be blue
I had this one female (only had one pigeon and can't have many more) all white with just a couple tiny red flecks. I talked to Bill I think it was.....he told me (or whoever it was, thanks again!) to pair her with a blue non grizzle male if I wanted colorful babies of either color. He also told me about the color/genders tho I am still a little confused on that but I get it pretty much......
Each of the blue birds are carring the recessive red gene and have pass it to the young. There is a very good chance that the young will lose some of the red as they moult (reversion to white). The process of reversion,is associated with the reduced pigment reservoirs of recessive red pigeons, it is call Acromatosis. You must also understand that recessive red is a modifier that hides blue, but in order for the bird to show the recessive red it must get two recessive red genes one from each blue parent. I hope that you are not confuse. Now I must ask you is this pair of birds in a breeding cage where no other birds can mate with the hen? GEORGE
