gnipper 6,484 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Did you just get the one to put with your best cock mate or did you get a few? If you breed a white with a blue do you get more whites, grizzles or blues? Bought this on aswell To breed pure whites you have got to have pure whites on boths sides Cloud above is not out of 2 pure whites, so put 2 a pure white cock could throw all coulors, the more you put white to white, the easier to breed pure white. But you still get colour birds come out. going to find some top cocks to put to them Is that the savings all gone now mate buying them? I was at garswood yesterday meeting a guy at the racer auction there and the lads were saying how much the birds had fetched at one of the last auctions :0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 10,917 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Not sure about the name but would Iridology(the study of the eye) be the same thing as what the bird lads look for in a eye?,i know someone who does it and the results are mental to see as you can find illness,fitness and even mental trauma in a eye on a human and in Russia they have been using iridology on people for years as a standard thing for pre op patients.It is true the eye reveals a great deal and a clear clean eye is one of the first things i look for in a bird i'm looking at getting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paddy the patt 4 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Christian some pigeon men swear by it like you say I have tipplers and limerick tumblers/rollers as droppers me I can only tell if a bird is poorly by looking at its eye an ther would have to be a scab over it. But do ever notice when [BANNED TEXT] I even find myself doing it ( and I don't no what I'm looking for) ya catch lift a bird 1st thing ya do is look at the right eye not if the bird even has wings. Then you spread the wing feathers I'd say 99% of pigeon men do it in that order. Anyway I think if you no what your looking for ya can see it in the pigeons eye. Can be expensive enough them old homers that's why I like the tipplers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
