I don't see any eye bars, all are almost clear except for dark noses and foreheads (pepper, no doubt). You guys must have guessed right and all will be pigeons. Here they are with dad.

they have little tail bars...though.
will be interesting to see how they look.
how many carol?

[Carol_Roberts]

Yes they all have tail bars - must be 60 or so. More than enough for me to deal with. This time I will cull heavily. These guys are exactly 2 weeks today - how old are yorus now?
CArol :heart1:

Carol, just out of curiosity, what do you do with the fish you cull?

[Pick]

Looking good Carol! That is a Magnificent Yellow! I've always had a spot in my heart for yellow pigeons after I saw Wattley/Dagen's book "Discus Today". Mine are looking similar they are two days behind yours.

Great close up too! I know you have said before but what camera do you use?

Another great photo
Yep they look like mom
My limitided exsperience with PBs has me to believe the dark color on the heads will lighted up as they grow.
Nice job

HI Brad:
I put them in the freezer to cull them. I didn't cull very much last time. I'm not talking about deformities, there wern't any. I'm talking about football shape, small in size, funny stress bars. I grew them out to see how they changed over time. The small ones stay small. The shape doesn't change much. Since I live in a rural area and don't have a ready market for babies I need to learn how to pick out the best 10-20 from each spawn at an early age to grow out for myself.

Terry, I use a Sony Mavica FD 73. Is uses regular floppies that I just stick in drive A to look at and save to hard drive. I love the way it takes close ups.

It will be fun to see what kinds of patterns the babies develope. The mother was a bright blue (red turk) with very little red and had nice striations. Both parents have very nice, round bodies. Both have amber eyes - does that mean all babies will have amber eyes ?
