That's a bit vague mate and to get a true picture of how matings can produce what, then it's a hell of a lot more complex. It's like opening up a can of worms.

its just a little help but you do get them colors when you pair them up lol i stested a few haha

But what you will find with experience, is that some birds carry dominant genes, sex linked genes, recessive genes, sometimes you can pair a blue to a blue and get a pied. You can also pair, lets say a red pied cock, to a red cheq hen and get a whole array of colours. Same as a blue cock and red hen etc.

this is a great site for genetics

might be of intrest to some of you

has any member ever bred a cheq out of two blues.....?

Yep.

ive got a blue cheq that breeds silvers lol

ive never had it, ive asked this before on other sites but either no-one has done it or they have been confused by the question of two blues paired togeather breeding a chequer.........

so you have definately bred a cheq from two blue bars gary ?

I have bred a blue chequer from two blues.

ah right, excellent....ive never heard of it been done before but have thought it piossible as we sometimes get a blue bar with three bars and a slight couple of black flecks on the wings which would make it a cheq with a few more wouldnt it.............

are all tic eyed pigeons hens

This is what you would call a sex linked factor.
Here's a good link for you
