So it was a success. A cross between a trenton base racing hen and a satinette or oriental frill cock. I love how the beak is shape and its size. It looks lovely. It will have its father bull eyes and no frill unlike its younger check below. i call them hominette and satinming


i though this little hen was going to be a recessive red but nope.

Do you think they can fly like a homer? Just curious. They looked nice.

Those are very cool! Love your names.

Very pretty! I have homer x tumblers- I call them " homertums"

 

[almondman]

That's catchy too.

they just weaned last week and i just start trap training them right now. I have 5 more homer squeakers about to wean next 2 weeks so by them i should know if they can fly like a homer. I hope they will have their mother homing instinct.

 

[MaryOfExeter]

They will fly with the flock but the homing ability can vary greatly. I had one of those and adopted it out to a PT member.

I hope this doesn't sound offensive, but........it's like raising mules. You gotta want a mule cause you're not going to get a race horse.

 

[sev3ns0uls]

of course im not racing them. Its for personal fancy only. But it sure look more like a homing then a satinette to me, just alittle smaller in the body size.

what colour is the red one? unusual how it has a bar on its tail. You should post a new thread asking colour experts for thier opinion. It could be a red bird with one dose of rec red. what base colours were the parents? A new thread with photos of the parents and that red bird with tail bar would make a great conversation.

 

[MaryOfExeter]

It isn't red. It's a silver check. The bronze from split stencil and split RR makes it look more brownish red.

 

[thepigeonkey]

It could be Becky. A very nice, very red silver. Makes you wanna see the parents doesn't it

 

[thepigeonkey]

you'd think the bronzes would look gold/sulphur if it were dilute. could it be brown?

 

[MaryOfExeter]

It usually does but I'm sure that varies too. Could be brown. Trentons throw a rainbow of colors and expressions. They act more like rollers than homers color-wise.

 

[MaryOfExeter]

I do want to see the parents though.

 

[sev3ns0uls]

Well if its okay, can a mod just move this thread to the genetic and color discussion area. by the way, mother is a blue dun bar and father is a stencil red.

here they are.

Cock is in the back.

here is the hen.

 

[almondman]

I have moved your thread. Beautiful birds!

I have to say for a dilute silver/bronze it is very ash red looking, I would have never expected to see an ash red mimic this good on a dilute blue bird. It's more than likely thats what it is but I think its quite amazing how ash red it looks on the shield.

 

[MaryOfExeter]

I still don't see where you guys are getting ash-red from but oh well. I'm a bit confused by your post on the parents though, saying the dad is a stencil red. In the picture it looks like a blue lace.
