this may or may not help. #1 and #2 are the ones in the previous pic. They're the parents of 3.4.5.6.7.8.9 &10 (and that's not even all of the family )

OK, looks like your female is ash red and the male is black spread (covered with white gene). I'd guess the male is split to the ALMOND gene (female #4 looks Almond) but don't know much about it so not sure, looks like the parents are carrying the dilute gene cause female #7 looks diluted. The young males look ash red to me, ash red can vary greatly in what it looks like.

Awesome, thank you so much for that. #6 and #7 were born together, #3 and #4 were born together, #5 had a white sister, and #8 and #9 were born together. #10 was an "only child"

It's amazing what one pair can reproduce. They had at least 8 nests since I got them last September.

Oh, and their latest are a bluish and a black and white. The blue is bigger.

Yeah pigeons can raise SO many babies, it's amazing especially since they only lay two eggs at a time. I have to keep taking away my pigeons eggs cause my family doesn't want me to have too many pigeons, but I just got permission to let them hatch out 1 more! (maybe 2 but I have to slowly introduce that idea lol).

you could let some out wild. They'd hang out cause they're pigeons.

I did let some of the "expendable" ones out to free fly, some of them didn't come back and I think they found our neighbor's loft

(he is a pigeon guy who gave me my first pigeons 2 years ago). He lets them out to free fly when he's home so I think mine just joined his flock as they were flying around.

Ah. Well at least you know they're in good care. Right?

Yeah, and when he goes away I take care of his pigeons for him, he has about 200 pigeons I think but have never counted LOL.
