I was thinking that spread ash red was what normal ash red looks like. I see why I was incorrect.

The hen is a red ash check, and the male is a red ash T-check.View attachment 2480745Can anyone tell me the name of these colours
yes! Great job!I barely know anything about pigeon colors but from what I remember there are three base colors, blue/black, ash red, and brown. Right @backyard pigeons @biophiliac ? Those look like the base color is brown. If you ask me to be any more specific then I will most likely accidentally give you incorrect information.
spread is very confusing. Just remember, on spread, it 'spreads' the color of the tail band.I was thinking that spread ash red was what normal ash red looks like. I see why I was incorrect.
Thanks for clearing that up! Learning genetics is quite difficult!The hen is a red ash check, and the male is a red ash T-check.
(hen on left, male on right)
yes! Great job!
In these birds the base color is ash red.
spread is very confusing. Just remember, on spread, it 'spreads' the color of the tail band.
*EXAMPLE* examine the tail bars in this male ash red check, and this hen with the base color being blue\black: View attachment 2481424
If you were to introduce the spread gene into these birds, the male red check offspring that were red ash spreads would become This, a red ash SPREAD. View attachment 2481428
Do you see how the males tail bar looks like the same color as the red ash spread?
Now, if the hen mated to a bird that carried the spread gene (just like i was saying with the male) lt would become a bird like this: View attachment 2481446
Solid black, since the tail bar was 'spread'.
Now, just for extra fun, I mated the black spread hen above to a yellow tiger grizzle male. (Yellow is the dilute of ash red). View attachment 2481449With the spread gene and the blue\ black base color being introduced into the tiger grizzled, they threw a blue grizzle and a black tiger grizzle View attachment 2481454View attachment 2481455
Any recommendations on what should I give him?One of the of baby pigeons has had a 100% recovery while the other ones health has severely decreased(not wanting to eat and not very active)
Wish I had a spread pigeon to get those cool coloursIn case you cant tell, I'm proud of my grizzled and tiger grizzled birds. I am going to this summer pair my yellow tiger grizzled hen

A spread is most commonly seen in black birds:Wish I had a spread pigeon to get those cool colours
