Pigeon Genetics: Color, Pattern and Modifiers / Cross-Breeding Technique

What do hemophiliac human males have in common with dilute hen pigeons? Both are the result of a sex-linked recessive trait that works similarly but opposite in both species humans (XY sex determination system) and pigeons (ZW sex determination system).
Go over basic genetics (color, pattern and modifiers) to better understand how the cross-breeding technique works with the use of simple Punnett squares

Great.. Really good knowledge you shared..

wow would love to have a conversation with you.. you blew me away! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You are so incredabl wow i had never seen like this defnetion

In Asian pigeon, white is not an absence of colour. It can be dominant as well.

[@palomargarcia-puente1656]

As I was telling Rubesh above, there are, as a matter of fact, different types of white, so it all depends... The white I talk about in the video is a recessive white: You need one other (pure) white bird or a bird that carries such recessive gen to be able to breed whites (maybe that blue or grizzle birds you talk about are carrying it??? I do not know). However, grizzle is a dominant trait, and you can dilute grizzles strategically until you end up with a white bird... A way to differentiate recessive whites and other whites is by paying attention to the color of the eyes (bull's black eye in recessive whites Vs color eyes in other whites), the color of the nails and beaks (white-pink in recessive whites Vs black in grizzles) or by simply breeding them and seeing what offspring you get... A pied bird that has been crossed strategically to clear its color, can be a dominant white... However, bear in mind that it is not really "white": It is hiding other color, be it ash-red, blue or brown :)

Where did you learn all this from please?

[@PigeonsTVFans]

If I had two birds, a male and a female, Each bird carries in the genes a specific characteristic that differs from the other bird What is the best production line that can be used to produce a bird that carries the two traits (which combine in its genes) the traits of the parents and be visible on it?

[@palomargarcia-puente1656]

Color is a sex-linked trait. However, there are many other morphological traits that are not sex-linked. The best way to maintain these other types of features is by crossing F1 to F3. Therefore, cross a grandfather with his granddaughter or a grandmother with her grandson. Consanguinity works great to maintain a line. However, bear in mind that the offspring are also likely to carry undesirable recessive traits and are by nature more prone to disease 🦠 السلام عليكم

@@palomargarcia-puente1656 they features not sex_linked. Why you like F1 to f3 Not to f2?

[@Rubeshpetszone]

Hi what will happen if we breed white with blue or with modifiers ( grizzle with blue )

[@palomargarcia-puente1656]

There are, as a matter of fact, different types of white, so it all depends... The white I talk about in the video is a recessive white: You need one other (pure) white bird or a bird that carries such recessive gen to be able to breed whites (maybe that blue or grizzle birds you talk about are carrying it???

Good luck!!!

[@ramisa9001]

Ma friend tell me! What kind of color does the babies have from male dominant white and smoky female ?

[@naveedaltaf]

Same rule apply for tipplers as well? My second question is that can I cross breed between tipplers and racers to bring some racer traits in tippler birds? TIA

[@palomargarcia-puente1656]

Very much indeed! As a matter of fact, rare colors in racer/homer pigeons is pretty recent... (from the last 30-40 years). The same way folks have crossed birds to bring in cool colors in homers (such as opal, stencil, almond, undergrizzle...), you can cross tipplers and racers to do it conversely. Once you get the color you want, you would have to cross them back with F1 to keep the morphological traits of the tippler breed, and combine them well to keep the color. Good luck!!!

@@palomargarcia-puente1656 Thanks so much it really helps.

[@hamzakhan9597]

How are modifiers passed on. Do the definitively pass from parents to offsprings.

[@royaxsabungan6796]

Can i ask how to produce opal

[@palomargarcia-puente1656]

Opal is a non-sex linked trait, a.k.a. an autosomal trait, and it can be recessive or dominant. The only way to breed opals is by crossing your birds with a bird that carries opal
