JIM

Number 1 has won and had few fed cards. It was given to me by local fancier

Number 2 is last years young bird

Number 3 is a hen ive had since 09 and still have the young off her in my loft

three cracking eyes, i would have all 3 in the stock loft has they all got great breeding potential just need the right mate

the bottom eye, no 3 is the one i would think is the best.............

Thats the hard part

John

being new what are you looking at in the eye ?????

Think the format of the picture is great, would be a great tool to have for demonstrating types ie to see the parents to the right and their youngster to the left

Well done

too true, if it were easy we would all be champions but thats one of the challenges which keeps us all going...

they are all what i would class as very strong eyes you need to find lesser eyes to match and i would try and deviate colour as well if thats possible

Do you mean pics of the parents eyes or the birds themselves

John

funny you should mention that mark, regarding the eyes of parents and ybs........this season some of the ybs eyes were totally different to the parents, ive read in the past that "eyesign men "can see the family resemblance in the young but i would challange any eyesign man to pick these birds out as a family........ suppose this family thing is mainly just what they see in their own birds/familly.

totally lost me i dont know what your looking for

Will try exactly that tomorrow

its a mine field mate, there are eyesign experts who say they can pick your best birds out purely by the eye (this i dont believe for a minute), as are experts in wing, throat etc etc

I like to see strong colours and mountainous eyes (if that makes sense?).......

Imagine looking at the eye and you see all the ridges well if you imagine looking across the eye these would seem like valleys or canyons, the more the better, i dont like seeing plain and pale eyes (as in diluted, drained, faded)

over the years we have won with all types of eyes, wings, throats, scaley skin etc etc

Since the introduction of ETS its only the foot theory that matters now...........

hi mark, do you consider the eyes when selecting your pairings .......? or what do you consider, best to best ...?

personally i think i need convincing, but untill i am proved other wise , not going to knock what i dont understand but if my birds are in good health, i am happy.

They are very wise words Chris

chris, i used to be all for eyesign but have realised its a very minor point to consider........if the bird has flown or bred well then that is more inportant than looking at its eye.
