eye sign choice

ive just selected these five birds on what i think are in my mind good eyes
and would be my selection if i was to buy birds on eye sign alone these pictures were taken from a well known sales site and i did look at over 400 birds to get to these five i didnt read any of there peds or perfomance
this aint a trick question im just asking them who know about eyes how do you think ive done have i picked crap or good eyes as these were the birds ide buy to breed from

got to learn some how any comments welcome

p.s i know nothing about eye sign these are just me selections

I know less than you G are they from pieds you do take a good photo

i didnt take the photoes george i coppied them from a sales site mate

the more I read about it the less I know but if I had to pick one it would be no 5

5/400 that's some sale G If your happy with them etc that's all that really matters, the way I see it if you were out to purchase them. Now !!! I will give you a pass rate of 80% as sadly from some one who knows nothing I think no 2 is a shocker.

G from what I see 4 of the eyes are from pied pigeons as they are bull type eyes

Number 4 i would say is not a pied pigeon

I don't know much about theses type of eyes as they are difficult to read but is I was to pick any of them I would pick

Number 4 & 5

BUT I KNOW NOTHING

well it seems 2 of you know something and yes all bar one is either a pied or has a white flight
but as i said it wasnt a trick question just the eyes i picked
well spoted don and george

I don't like any of them tbh that's as a eye not on eye sign

G are your sure mate that's 2 things I have got right now "you must be sober"

I'm getting a habit of this now

BUT I STILL KNOW NOTHING

Hens eyes, yrlgs. All pretty similar.

Not bothered what color eye they have as long as they have two pointing in the right direction eyes wings throat vent strong back all theories only the basket will sort hem out

Mark if you were ask to judge a show or if someone ask you what you though of a pigeon what you say

Missed uploading this one. Mark, you are 100% correct! However, this eye sign theory is interesting.

Halcanada I would say racing eye but a very weak eye no strength in it JMO mate

Imo The eyes halcanada selected are all very good racing eyes, all very similar as well, Im going to agree with Don on the first eyes in the post shown, they do seem to be bull eyes from either pieds, reds or black / dark pigeons. Non of them are breeding eyes outright although some good breeding qualities exist in them all, but for me they are racers.

Does seem to be at the moment Don every one is posting racing eyes, maybe I will post a few breeders to show the difference...lol

The other Violet eyes are a little stronger and the best violet is picture number 3

They are all racing eyes but would say sprint pigeons

Yes but I think this is happening because it is different people's perception and its a good way of having there pigeons checked

Which I'm more than happy to help out but

I KNOW NOTHING

And everything is JMO

Halcanada this is the best eye out of the four you have posted this pigeon can do the extra distance but is still a racing eye

You need a very strong violet eye to bring the best out of this pigeon

George I respect your views on this subject along with G 's etc also. If one placed these 5 eyes in the breeding loft along with the eye from the best breeder in the world that we discussed here, do you not consider there may remotely be a slim chance, they could breed half decent birds for someone to race & have success with if treated in the right way.

When I mate up. x number of cocks go with x number of hens. They pick their own mates. All the parents that have been kept back have flown well. Racing eyes? Of course! I keep racing pigeons!!

I understand they are racing pigeons but Halcanada they are a weak type of eye but I think this is because the family is old and may need some new blood to improve the characteristics in the eye JMO mate
