Rainbow the eye you like is what I call chestnut and I usually associate it with racing and not breeding, Imo the only time it comes up as a breeder is when its all gold including the eye sign.
I understand Martyn but for me to get the best from that type of eye you would need something special but will agree with it being a racing eye |

| Just out of interest for everyone here is something I recently found out about..maybe you all know it already but I didn't.
As we all talk about eye sign and such, some agree with it and others not but however far fetched it all seems to some and I say some because mostly the disagreement seems to come from over the water, like in Holland and Belg.
But when I saw that the people I so admire use a system which to me seems mental to asses breeding birds by, and that's breeding feathers? They look under the wing for a group of feathers think there are 3 which should be in a certain order to make them breeders.
Now Im not going to totally debunk this because as an eye sign man which is after all a theory they entitled to their opinion, but I cannot say to my way of thinking this could ever make a difference.
Has anyone else seen this and what do they think about breeding feathers...??? |

Martyn the three feather they are talking about very short and when you look at them it's as if they have been cut in a straight line with a pair of scissors The first person to use this method was Bill Carney every time you watched Bill he would flick the wing up by the wing butt The old hen that I talk a lot about which bred a lot of good pigeons had the 3 small feathers which you are talking about If you have the book Untold Secrets of Champions it also has a picture in that book When you look under the wing the three flights lol seprate from the wing feathers and you can move them with freely with your index finger but you will have them which are long and pointy but I like to see the 3 flights bold and short Martyn I look at it also |
