Hi Neen it gets even more interesting when unknown facts are properly
presented ;) I am really glad you helped me with opportunity to clear
color confusion which is in my opinion not surprising as many guys on FT
including myself do not know mach about color genetics.
Hi Nino,
You have hit the nail on the head my friend. I don't think there is anyone
who could honestly find a flaw in your explanation. It is air tight and rock
solid.
The F2,3 and f4's will not perform like the F1's, mainly because they will
not have the F1 vigor that the first outcrosses inherit. Yes every now and
then you might find one of the F2,3 and 4's that may show a bit of ability,
but by and large, as you say if one has to take F4 crosses from different
lofts and bred from them, your chances of producing your" IDEAL" in both
[The question is once you have selected a pair of pigeons to breed from
(selection criteria being performance - time flown) does this pair ever
breed youngs which lack in performance in anyway? --Abdul]
Nice question, and one that has been asked many times in the past by those
that wish to find the answer.
Individuals refer to both habit and instinct as one of those radical
characters that are capable of action. It is common knowledge that an often
repeated act, speedily becomes a habit with an individual, and as such
repeats itself almost like a machine, and over time it just becomes a reflex
action.
One of the 3 reasons I focused on inbreeding depression for 14 years, read
it as from time to time, is a good method of testing effect of homoeopathic
remedies.
[From: Beni] I seen a couple birds with leg feathers not a like a trumpeter
but just a little bit. I was wondering are these pure tipplers? The breeder
said they are so bred tight that sometimes you get muffs like that. What's
the verdict?
Beni,
There can be two possibilities. First one is that there is a non-E tippler
cross in recent years.
Sorry for jumping in, I don't see much wrong with agreeing or disagreeing
with a statement made by who ever. After all we live in a democratic society
where difference of opinion is not just fine but rather welcome. However,
for the life of me, I fail to comprehend some people luck of understanding
the difference between BREED and STRAIN.. The differences are between the
strains, and they are more pheno type than anything else, but the geno type
is still very much the same at the breed level.
I had a kit in training until it got really bad last week 4 cocks just got
them up to 6 hours dropping in heavy dusk to the lights then last Thursday
bang snow they have not been out since but my droppers love it I hope to
have all 15 tipplers back in training before the end of the month if the
white stuff clears I started training in December last year and it did them
no harm plus no sign
However, let us not forget, in anything we do, there always is possible an
element of surprise, considering the fact not everything we see is dominant.
Sure keeping of the proper documentation will be helpful, but let us not
forget a lot depends on the honesty of those who provided us with the
pedigreed base that we work from.
