You explained this in such a simple and easy to understand way. The pictures of the expressions of different genes really helps someone new to pigeons (like myself) know what these genes really are.
I have had pigeons for a very long time but never got into the genetics for colour. I also breed chickens and I am very much in the colour genetics with them. This was a very interesting video I enjoyed it very much but I still need to learn more I guess from the basics .
Almond to Almond isn’t a bad idea from my experience as long as it’s not from the same family. Done it with success and my young birds flew happy and healthy
Some people seem to be able to do it without too much trouble, but for most people it does cause issues. So for people who are new to almond breeding I wouldn't recommend it.
Adam Archer Pigeons Theres actually quite a few guys in the hobby that have successfully bred almonds to almonds so it’s really on who is managing their birds. It’s all luck but like i said, with my personal experience it’s gotta be from different families
Cheers for the video mate I’ve just started with Birmingham roller and would love to get the dark almonds. Not pretending to completely understand your video but I’ll get there. Might bother you in the future
hi adam.I live in turkey. I postponed my emancipation due to my childhood pigeon love affairs.I am over 50 now.I do not know the language, I use translate. I love all kinds of pigeons.But now the color pigeons are interested in me.You gave good information about the multicolored.

I would be glad if you answer my question thank you
This was the first video i watched and i found it very interesting.I just started to try and breed different colors and i have red ash spread and stipper already.Can you explain to me please what exactly makes a rubella?I see different kinds of rubella and sometimes they do not look alike.Thank you.
Rubella is a sex-linked recessive gene, an allele of reduced. I have never bred it, I don't think we have the gene in Australia, but it seems highly variable.
Hello Adam, Thank you for this masterpiece video! I have a question and hopefully, you can help me out. I have a blue almond what can I do to get a copy of him through breeding? I would like another bird close to his color The blue almond carries, Yellow, Black, white, and red and carries no T-check or blue so when I paired the creamy looking almond with my dark black pigeon they produced this blue almond.
Hey Adam gr8 video on almond colour, I would like to know about the checker and bar Dunn colour.an interesting trait is all my Dunn racing pigeons are hens.no cockbirds,Plus I also breed yellow full spread a d bar birds again all hens.All these colours I believe to be resesive?? And all are lingered Busheart bloodline birds.When is it possible to breed cockbirds with these dilute colours?
Nice vídeo!! But You mix diferent breeds! Looking for colors? Why some of your birds don't have any ring! ?? I love racingpigeons different colors but I hate to mix them with other breeds! Thank You and your explanetions are really oustanding and usefull!!
No, I do not mix breeds. I actually keep immaculate records, my pedigrees and records go back to the 1940s. The pigeons I have without rings were bred by other breeders. That being said, you might be interested to know that the modern racing homer is a very recently developed breed (late 1800s), made up of many crosses.
Thank you for this video. I want to breed almond Modena. I need to buy some more bird's. I have Blue, Ash Red, and Yellow. Can you please tell me what other colors I need to breed almonds? Thank you.
Hi Adam, in this video u said for making almond color, we need 5 ingredients. What we should do if we have those colors? Pair each color bird and take the chick and pair the chicks again with the other color chicks? Or just pair it together and the result will be almond?
Hi Yes i have the same question. I still don’t understand how to pair them. Shall for example i pair brother and sister from ressessive red and checker then i pair brother and sister from stipper and kite then i mate what ever comes from both pairs. I’ll be very thankful for details
@@ابوثويني take a dark check baby from the rec red and check pair, and pair it to a stipper baby from the stipper and kite pair. Then if it looks like anything is missing from the next generation, pair the baby to whatever is missing
Thank you for your videos . Is it possible to breed almond without a stripper and how do we know a pigeon has stripper gene is it possible to substitute a grizle for stripper?
Hey Adam ! One of my favorite colors like yours is the black almond. Any tips on how to breed them ? I have brown almonds but i want to breed black ones. I also have qualmond
question please, if I have an almond male and a blue hen, the babies will not be almond, if I cross the babies to each other, would I have a 25 % of almonds? Thank you for the video
@@AdamArcherPigeons interesting, my friend has an almond male and the babies are not almond! So I told him to cross the babies to get 25%, I can ask him for the pictures to share them with you, thanks a lot
Almond is dominant, so crossing the non-almond children together will not produce almond like it would if it were a recessive gene. You can post pictures on pigeongenetics.com/forum
@@AdamArcherPigeons I called my friend to confirm, you are right I was mistaken he got 50% almonds, thank you so much! So if I understand you correctly, from the other 50% which are not almond he will never get almond even if he crosses them between each other? Thanks again

Thank you dearest for your information
i was wondering why my almond pigeon's always come as blinded baby's but not all have them only female one
If you pair almond to almond you'll get a lot of blind babies, pairing almond to red, bronze, or dark check is best.

Dilute (the gene behind dunn, yellow, etc) is sex-linked. Pair a dunn to her father or son and you'll start producing cockbirds in these colours.

Thanks for the video; how would you recognise (if any ways at all) if a red pigeon is recessive by their phenotype
Recessive red typically covers over the pattern, unlike ash red
Very nice video mate i think you can find the best almond colours in Iranian high flying pigeons mate
Thanks, yes a few different breeds have good almonds
Great video Adam!
Do you have video according to Andalusian?
So which one of those 5 recepies should be paired? And then what are the next steps?
There is only one recipe, you need to combine all of those genes into the one pigeon.
I have sent you some photo's on your facebook page. It would be a pleasure if you could give me some advice.
Is it okay to breed Black spread toy stencil frill stencil to stipper?
I have a question I have two different pairs of white that keep having blind babies I broke up the pairs so if there so white are they stilper
Adam, can you please also make a video about ice pigeon breeding!
Adam can you do a video on how to breed shield marked birds please?
can you make video for the black almonds breeding please.
Nice birds mate😁👍
Thank you for your videos . Is it possible to breed almond without a stripper and how do we know a pigeon has stripper gene is it possible to substitute a grizle for stripper?
No, you cannot substitute stipper for grizzle unfortunately. Stipper is the most important gene in the mix.
I have been told that pigeons that carry the Almond or Stipper gene are short downed at birth. Is that your experience?
Yes, however sometimes it is hard to notice as it isn't always as short as you might expect.
Thanks Adam! How do you breed saddle pigeons?
It (surprisingly) isn't super well understood, but I believe it might be a recessive "z-locus" allele.
How do you breed Opals? Thanks in advance. Barney.
How many generations would it take if starting from beginning and stock to produce an almond.
You could theoretically do it in 2 generations from four initial pigeons. It wouldn't be the best quality almond, but it would be an almond.

T-check
Hey Adam ! One of my favorite colors like yours is the black almond. Any tips on how to breed them ? I have brown almonds but i want to breed black ones. I also have qualmond
Just pair your almond with a black 🙂 it'll take a few tries, but around 1 in 4 will be the colour you want.
@@AdamArcherPigeons I will do that. Thank you very much for replying. Love ur videos
Hi adam could u explain wat is recessive and wat is dominant and how u identify between the two......hope this makes sense
I already did, in the "Introduction to Pigeon Genetics" ua-cam.com/video/enIiSPq1qBk/v-deo.html
question please, if I have an almond male and a blue hen, the babies will not be almond, if I cross the babies to each other, would I have a 25 % of almonds? Thank you for the video
If you have an almond male 50% of the young will be almond. It is a dominant gene.
@@AdamArcherPigeons interesting, my friend has an almond male and the babies are not almond! So I told him to cross the babies to get 25%, I can ask him for the pictures to share them with you, thanks a lot
Almond is dominant, so crossing the non-almond children together will not produce almond like it would if it were a recessive gene.
You can post pictures on pigeongenetics.com/forum
@@AdamArcherPigeons I called my friend to confirm, you are right I was mistaken he got 50% almonds, thank you so much!
So if I understand you correctly, from the other 50% which are not almond he will never get almond even if he crosses them between each other?
Thanks again
@@isyaha correct. The only way to get an almond from them is to pair them to an almond, the young will get the gene from the almond parent.
So a stiper gene paired to a dark T check spread will give you " Black almond" birds?
In that mating the check has nothing to do with it. Adding spread is what gives you the black.
Great video
So how do we add these 5 and get the result?which color dove should match which color dove?
You need to keep pairing until you have all the genes on the one pigeon
