Simply brilliant ... I wrote pigeon genetics for my pigeon club some years ago ....I truly appreciate your work .

I've been interested in pigeons for just over ten years now. Finally I have one of my own and I've joined a local club. I wanted to look more into genetics - it's interested me in other species I share my home with, but as I don't plan to breed it's seemed too complex. Your videos make me believe I can finally get my head round the basics at least. I'll be watching this one again. Thanks.

I am not the brightest student but think i can grasp some of what you say, I will persevere with the video until I understand it all.

Thanks for informing this i got confused in birds that it is XY and XX means the father is responsible for the offspring but in birds the female is that is what i understand today.ZZ and ZW. Also i didn't know that recombination and there is even a thing called epistatis. Also Lethality is quite puzzling.

Thank you!!

Hi Adam, i know you produce videos on pigeon colours but was wondering if you could help me with the genetics of wattle production as in Carriers, i have had a look around but can't find any information, Carriers are relatively easy to breed but difficult to breed birds with good wattles, any ideas ?

I'm researching about pigeons (tumblers), I saw your video about genetics. Thank you for the valuable information. There are more than one rule in the tumbler pigeon. It can take a very long time to obtain the desired genotype. When you combine book A and book B, the resulting book is weaker.🤷🏻‍♂️ I want you to give me tactics Please thank you Sir

Thanks for sharing your knowledge , it is very usefull information. I have a question or two. In most colors , blue or red ash for example there is a scale of intensity of the color. A blue can go from very dark blue to a clear almost silvery blue.(I don't mean deluded or so but just blue) Is there a genetic reason for this and how does it work? Second question Do you know someone in my region where I could get barless blue or reds? Greetings from Belgium.

Hi Marc, yes, often the difference is the "dirty" gene. I'll make a video about it in the future, but you should be able to find information on line. There are also other genes that have an impact, but "dirty" is the most common. Sorry, I don't know where you can get barless pigeons in Belgium.

Hey! I have a question: if you can have two recessive alleles, can you have two dominant alleles? What happens then? Thank you so much for this video. I'm not a hobbyist but got curious when I noticed how different patterns pigeons can have.

@AdamArcherPigeons

3 жыл бұрын

Pigeons have two spaces at each loci, so if we use the pattern locus as an example: if you have two copies of barless then there is no space for a more dominant allele like check. But that is just this single locus out of the thousands, you can definitely have a dominate allele like grizzle at it's loci too!

First of all, this is really informative to a hobbyist like me. Thank you for your work. I also happen to have a question for you. I have a extreme dilute lemon colored female crossbred pigeon(still in molting stage and not sure whether this is the name for this color, but surely I ve never seen this color anywhere else other than in one of your videos). What could be the possible results if I pair it with a blue chequered Homer male?

Hi Adam. If ash red is dominant over blue base color why are there much more blue wild as well as domestic pigeons? I see very few ash red pigeons in the wild as well as domestic lofts compared to blue ones. Thanks for your videos.

@AdamArcherPigeons

3 жыл бұрын

It seems to be that ash red isn't as well adjusted to life as blue is. For example ash red feathers are far more brittle than blue feathers.

You said spread is completely dominant, so does that mean if I want to get say a fully red pigeon I just need to breed any pattern red pigeon, (i.e.red check, red Pied, red grizzle) to any spread pigeon for a chance of getting fully red. Thanks Adam, I've asked something a bit similar before but to clarify, I have 2 black pigeons, are they both definitely blue bars with spread mutation

Ash red spread is actually not solid red, look in my Rare Colour playlist, there is a video on Ash Red Spread there. Solid red is caused by the Recessive Red gene 👍

hi can you explan to me how they can have pair of the babies sometimes become both male?

@AdamArcherPigeons

4 жыл бұрын

Sex is determined by the Z and W chromosomes. Babies always get a Z chromosome from their father, and will get a Z or W from their mother. So it is a 50/50 chance. It is possible to have one of each, or two males, or two females in the nest. You'll get two males approx 25% of the time.

Wonder Informations. Okay, Let me ask you whether T check pattern colour can produce black colours ? And another question is about cross over . Let's consider A as Sire , B as Dam and C as their Offspring. So, what will be the genetic sequence if A and C is mated and produce an offspring called D . As you told , C already posses two books A and B . What is the use of producing D from A and C (some breeders call it as inbreeding)? Thanks You Best Regards

@AdamArcherPigeons

T Check can produce a very dark phenotype, but it is not "true black" without the Spread gene. In a few weeks I'll have a video done on the different patterns and colours. I think you're a bit confused about crossover, so I'll work on the script for the crossover and linkage episode to make it more clear.

Ok I need some advice. I’m wanting to do some selective breeding next year on my birds. I’m wanting to cross a black hen with a white cock. My question is will I get tiger grizzles or solid colors? Also I have a blue bar cock (2019) that I received from a friend. His dad was a tiger grizzle but he took back from his mom as a blue bar. What color hen should I pair him up to in order to get some tiger grizzles? My goal is to get some tiger grizzles in my loft without buying some birds. Thanks in advance for your help!

@AdamArcherPigeons

No, Black x white does not give Tiger Grizzles, Tiger Grizzle is a separate gene that will get its own video in time. Black x White will likely give you blacks, pieds, blues, and whatever else is hiding under the coat of white. Tiger grizzle is also dominant, so it cannot be hidden in a blue bar. You need to get another tiger grizzle for breeding if you want one - can you loan one from a friend? Don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss the future updates!

Hi I have a question about recessive red. I know my closed flock of Danzig high flyers have produced rec red in the past but I was wondering if there is any way of telling weather or not they are still carrying it? I do not have any reds or ever bred one. I know in my chickens I bred a lavender after 15 years of line breeding.

I guess the easiest way would be to get a recessive red of any breed and pair it to your birds. If yours carries rec red, approx 50% of the young will be rec red.
