Need to ID pigeons.../ Found my answer...sort of...

[Rafter 7 Paint Horses]

I have 2 breeds of feather footed fan tailed pigeons that I need to ID.
I can't post pictures because a storm took out my computer, so I am using my old one which won't support my new camera software.

Is there a website that I can look at pigeons breeds, so I might be able to tell what I have?

One pair is white with tan flecks... Like a red roan colored horse, and the other pair is black with white spots, like a mottled cochin. This pair just hatched 2 babies! They are the ugliest...cutest things ever!!! I'd never seen a baby pigeon before, so this is new for me.

I have a pair of Indian fantails, which the friendly folks here told me what they were. They haven't produced any babies yet, but I think I need to trim their fluffy butts for the eggs to be fertile, cause they lay all the time, but nothing has been fertile.

Anyway, any links I can check out would be greatly appreciated, and when I am able to get my computer rebuilt, I will post pics of my birds and of the babies as they grow.

ETA:
I talked to the man that sold the pigeons to DH. He said the one pair are Indian Fantails and the other is a West of England Tumbler.
He didn't remember the color variety, but he did remember the breed.
So, another mystery solved.

Thanks to all who offered help on this subject.

Thanks, I didn't think about feathersite for pigeons. I looked, but didn't find any of the color I have, but body type, they look like some sort of tumbler. I will continue to search until I can get pics on here.

If they are fantails with feathered feet, then they are indian fantails. If they don't have a crest as well, then they are mixed.
It also sounds like you have a pair of ash-red or brown grizzles and a pair of black mottles or grizzles. Or the first pair could also be almond. Or just a ash-red or brown splash.

Would you happen to have pics of these colors you mentioned?

The blacks are not as mottled as I though they were, they are mostly black with a few white flecks in the head and neck area.
They are really pretty, no matter what they are. They are probably a mix, as you said.

I really miss not being able to post pics...it would make things so much easier!

Ah, WOE Tumblers was my first assumption, until I saw fantailed. Both breeds are very pretty, and some of my favorites

Here is almond:

Grizzles and mottles:

Since the blacks barely have any white, then they could just be pied, and not have any grizzle genes in them at all. Either way, I'm sure they're pretty!
