An opaque object that reflects all wavelengths appears white; one that absorbs all wavelengths appears black. Black and white are not generally considered true colors; black is said to result from the absence of color, and white from the presence of all colors mixed together.
Great. That explanation is really clear. It's consolidated all the little snippets I've picked up about "white" in various species over the years. More genetics videos please! lol man savaged by protective pigeon ;-)
Amazing video! The red baby is really beautiful! Don't worry it is probably a cockbird, because it is a bit too light for pure ashred. Good luck and a lot of success!
I am new to keeping pigeons but loving it. I own 1 tiger grizzle and to gray grizzles does that mean if they breed I will always get GRIZZLES ? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Not necessarily, if both parents are heterozygous for their grizzle gene you'll end up with 25% each of: tiger grizzle, classic grizzle, both at the same time, and neither.
@@AdamArcherPigeons Hey Adam! Can you do a video on what happens when you get two hens or two cocks from a breeding. I've haven't seen a video about this yet. Thank you!
I got two hens from a pairing and one of hens is strong and large like cock! I raise Birmingham Rollers and a few Homers. This pair came from my Rollers.
We have a white pigeon living on top of the frame of an outdoor blind on the western side of our house in Eastern suburban Melbourne. Has been there for over a year.
So one of my white homers hatched a hen with a blue bar on her tail You cant call her anymore a white I think its a homozygous grizzle Am i right? Or what color is her?
I know this is late and won’t matter for this video/eggs and you probably know this yourself but you can hear the chick chipping away at the egg from the inside if you hold it to your ear and know it’s due to chip it’s how I used to determine the hatching or live chicks in eggs for my birds after lay date and marking the eggs 1st nd 2nd obviously protective parents make that abit harder 😅
Can anyone help me please? I am buying 100 pairs same pigeons from my farmer friend. I like to know what kind of breed is this. He doesn't know either. I own small farm house. With stables and barn. I have so much space. And what is the selling price? Please help me.
Hi I am really enjoying your videos. This question might be covered some where else, but what do your individual breeding pens look like? what size are they? how long do you leave the birds paired as individuals?
Please, solve a doubt for me, in the event that the pigeon is white, or carrier of recessive white, is there a possibility of using one of these in a project with the purpose of diluting colors? Although you have explained the science of "lack of pigmentation", I would like to know if there is any chance of color dilution occurring when crossing with pigeons of other colors... for example, leaving a lighter recessive red, half orange ... Thanks.
@@AdamArcherPigeons I have about 100 white racers and their parents have been out 100 miles. As a foundation I bread the 100 mile whites together but I was looking to add some stronger distance birds into the Mix. And try to get stronger white birds. This has bred a 20 year breeding process for me. I will try the cross and see what the babies produce.
Hey Adam. I had a friend he’s gone now. But he had a red checker cock and a red hen and all there baby’s were white. All white. After looking at your channel I understand why.
I own a few young recessive white racing pigeons that I want to use to foster a few of my baby Strassers next year. Although I really love my Strassers (recessive yellow, ash red bars and ash red checkers), these white ones look sooooooo great
Adam Archer.. Really love your explanation and sharing of knowledge. Can you suggest any book that deals with pigeon genetics. Thank you for everything 😍
Great to hear you talk about white pigeons. My experience is that I had a pair of blue bars and as they get older, they eventually produce a white...it turned out to be a cock. The pair I had were around 6 years when the youngster had white flights. The older the pair, the more splash I was getting until I got a pure white cock. On a lighter note, don't give up on the tiger grizzles....they're beauties.
Well, I believe The GENETICS Is a big mystery.. If the colour white is recessive they why is it get expressed to its progeny🤔 I had white female roller paired to ash red T check.. both the babies were full white to my surprise.. Can you explain on this?
White is not a color so i would say that my pure white pigeon is pure 100% dilute. So i have one pair of silver pigeons and here I bred a dilute silver bar cock looks white with red bars with a silver hen. The result is a pure white cock and a silver hen. Can u explain how this happens? The second batch is another pure silver and a splash or pied silver.
I have a pair of silver bars, the hen comes from two silver bars but the cock is from an ash red pie forgot what the hen is but anyways back to the pair the cock is a dilute silver but he looks cream white with red ash like bars. They have been together and produces all silver bars and mealy. This year they produce a pure white with dark red eyes i was just stuned. According to ur theory it lost its color genes so i think its just an accident. Now if i mate this white which is probably a hen to its father do u suppose it can produce whites right away because i think the father carries more of the white gene from his father. If u support the theory that it will produce whites then i will try to mate them this spring although i dont think it will produce any dilutes i think its just hard to amagine it.
Hey Adam 👋 gonna tell u that I've many pigeons at my home. They are living in for ages. They are mostly grey color, brown color and some of them are white.
Mix white colored peigon with spread recessive color “ dun “ you will get amazing colors and patterns of actually white patterns I have amazing grizzle Fantail babies from a white male fantail and female dark spread grey mom I paired a grizzled make baby with his white sister and I have got amazing offspring Grizzled white and Brown and grizzled white and grey baby
Actually no! There are also real albino pigeons, I just forgot to mention them in the video. Albino pigeons will have pink eyes instead of the dark eyes of a recessive white.
Hi, if you have any white breeders available? let me know, please. I am looking for a pair with colored eyes. and are they available? I'm from Pakistan. Thank You
White color does not complete any color in pigeons. No color will ever be white if you try for a thousand years. It is absolutely necessary to enter the white pigeon gene. In that case, I think your theory is wrong. If your theory were correct, the white part in shielded pigeons would not always meet in the same place and would not leave the wing tops regularly colored. So the painter either painted them all or had to paint them randomly. Love and respect from Turkey. Thank you. I don't know English, but I can explain this much with google translate.
I mean, technically it's black that's not a colour. White has not made the genes "invisible", they don't have another colour underneath... what are you talking about?
The genes are not "inactive". Their expression is just hidden by the epistasis of recessive white. They will be passed onto the next generation and expressed without inhibition if the other parent isn't a carrier of recessive white. Please don't come onto my channel and start spreading misinformation when you don't know what you're talking about.
@@AdamArcherPigeons What are you talking about? 😆 You're ridiculous There is no other colour underneath!! Don't talk about things you clearly know nothing about lol

My goodness……..if only I had half of your knowledge when I kept pigeons in my youth. Very informative Adam.
An opaque object that reflects all wavelengths appears white; one that absorbs all wavelengths appears black. Black and white are not generally considered true colors; black is said to result from the absence of color, and white from the presence of all colors mixed together.
White feathers are caused by the absence of pigment

@@AdamArcherPigeons thanks for reply Adam. Interesting mate.
Thanks video was really helpful I was reading an old pigeon gazette that you can get white almonds how would you get that
Without any of the reddening or darkening genes, almonds come out of the nest near white and darken as they get older.
I love white pigeons, I'm buying a pair tomorrow!
Love the video! Those Tigers are beautiful!
Thank you very much!
@@AdamArcherPigeons Hey Adam! Can you do a video on what happens when you get two hens or two cocks from a breeding. I've haven't seen a video about this yet. Thank you!
I got two hens from a pairing and one of hens is strong and large like cock! I raise Birmingham Rollers and a few Homers. This pair came from my Rollers.
It is just random. On average 50% of the time they'll be a nest pair, 25% 2 hens, 25% 2 cocks.
We have a white pigeon living on top of the frame of an outdoor blind on the western side of our house in Eastern suburban Melbourne. Has been there for over a year.
They get attached to a spot and don't like to leave 🙂
I have been breeding roller pigeon grizzles to white. How does the eye change from orange to yellow in some generations.
So one of my white homers hatched a hen with a blue bar on her tail
You cant call her anymore a white
I think its a homozygous grizzle
Am i right? Or what color is her?
Pied probably.
@@AdamArcherPigeons how?
One of my white homer pair produced a white hen with a blue tail bar and its a pied?
Pied simply means "white in some places where there would normally be colour".
How much value do leg bands add to the bird?
Some great information I have 2 white pigeons in my loft I think there great
Theyre like snow white doves ❤ and speckled white pigeons
I LOVE WHITE AND ALSO MAGSSI PIGEONS,,, LOVELY SIR
Thanks Abdul
If i pair, mukhi pigeon : black ( T checker ) and red bar, what will be the colour of its chicks
Likely T-Checks, red sons and blue daughters if the order you posted is the sexes of the parents.
Is there any chancy of blue checker
Yes, if the T Patten bird carries check.
How could i develope blue barless

Hi I am really enjoying your videos. This question might be covered some where else, but what do your individual breeding pens look like? what size are they? how long do you leave the birds paired as individuals?
They're 500x600x500, but they're too small and I would recommend bigger.

Hello my friend, ich have a question! I have a 100 % clean white male pigeon and a smoky female pigeon. Which color could the babies have?
Interesting article on the white pigeons, puts it in awhole new criteria.
Is it possible to produce white birds with colored eyes using blue grizzels?
You could get pretty close, but to get "pure" white it's best to use red.
@@AdamArcherPigeons does it matter what red I use? Can it be recessive or does it have to be Ash Red?
@@lowlandloft1264 Ash Red

Great job explaining that. I love your videos because iam very interested in pigeon genetics.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but yes, white pigeons can carry the "dilute" gene.
Question how do I get more whites.
If I breed a white with a long distance racing pigeon then breed the babies with whites would you get more whites.
It depends on the white genes you have, but yes that is your best bet to start with.
@@AdamArcherPigeons I have about 100 white racers and their parents have been out 100 miles.

Which pattern, colour base pigeon should pair with blue base t chech pigeon to get almonds
You need the gene called stipper to get almond
Love this
Hi Adam. Could you please explain how one pigeon gets two different eye colors.
Sure, I'll touch on it in an eye video one day. The answer is usually just that the bird is pied on only one side of the face.
Wow.. better explanation about white 🧬 so far. Thanks ♂️
Glad it was helpful!
Hello. If white is the absence of (pigment) color, What is black?
Melanin pigment expressed throughout all the feathers. Usually as a result of the gene called "spread".
Yeah , hard to keep clean lol 😆
Hey Adam. I had a friend he’s gone now. But he had a red checker cock and a red hen and all there baby’s were white. All white. After looking at your channel I understand why.

Yes, all my coloured projects are kept to the same standard as my regular-coloured racing pigeons.
@@AdamArcherPigeons so the color of the pigeon doesn't have to do anything about it's speed?

Either your bird had a dominant white gene, or the ash red carried recessive white. Genetics isn't a mystery, it's science and can be tested 👍

If the gene is recessive white, then you can mate the white young back to the opposite sex parent and in theory 50% of the young should be white.
