Fantail Pigeon Color Identification

[CCsGarden]

Do they change color after a 1st molt?

It most likely will be all white. It might grow some cream colored feathers here and there.

Yeah I dont know much about fantail pigeon genetics & since I didn't raise the parents & the old man I bought them from really didn't know because she wife was in the hospital.

I would have to do a little more research as I don't know much about genetics either

I wonder if it's a recessive white gene given that both parents have color

So, update on this squab.. it's turned in a gorgeous snow white bird! Also, this two parents successfully hatched two squats today! Looks like they are throwing all white!!

I know nothing about fantail pigeon genetics.
But quite a bit about finch and budgie genetics - some things are the same accross bird types.
So - the dad looks like a mix of cinnamon and ino. If his eyes are red as they appear. These are both sex linked mutations. Saddleback is recessive in most critters.
So if the chick/s have red eyes, female albinos. If they have black eyes mum must be carrying a recessive white gene and it/they could be either gender.
