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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When stencil is involved, checks are just called stencilled while T-patterns and velvets are called laced. What stencil boils down to, is that all of the pattern of the bird is white (or some pinkish colour), instead of the normal pattern color, while the rest of the feather is unchanged. That is why barred toy stencil are called white-bar (or pink-bar / bronze bar).
The exact color of the stencil depends on the toy stencil complex genes that have been ingerited from the parents. The color varies from bronze - when only the dominant modena brozne (TS1) is inherited - to pure white when all the TS factors are present (TS1//? ts2//ts2 ts3//ts3)
wowo i can see that my hominette will have the same color as the modena after moulting. Thanks for the overview.
