Rare Swallow Variety?

[NeilsHamburgs]

A FEW YEARS BACK I PURCHASED 3 PAIRS OF PIGEONS AT AN AMISH MOVING AUCTION. THEY SAID THEY WERE CALLED NEW YORK SWALLOWS. THEY HAD THE HEAD CAP AND COLORED WINGS BUT WERE SMOOTH LEGGED. I HAD ONE BLACK AND WHITE PAIR AND 2 RED AND WHITE PAIRS AND THEY BRED TRUE. NOW I WANT BACK INTO PIGEONS BUT HAVE DISCOVERED THESE PIGEONS ARE UNHEARD OF OR DONT EXIST. THEY HAD PIGEON CLUB BANDS BUT DONT KNOW WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

Dont those have a swoop behind their head? Or do they come in both varieties?

 

[larrylofts]

THEY COME CRESTED OR PLAIN HEADED SPOTED OR FULLHEADED JUST HAVE TO ASK THE BREEDER
