Cliff.. everything I raise does something performance wise , it
is what that something is that seperates it from the cull box to
the A team.

> My family raises more Indigo and Andalusians than most, I'd
say, and although I hate to associate performance with ANY color
in particular, there seems to be a direct corollation. It is
probably because the fondation cock for this line (007) was an
Andalusian self. But when I get an andalusian self in the nest
box, I am always excited because there is little doubt that it
is going to spin. It's usually just a matter of how good the
quality, speed, frequency and depth will be...or whether it will
be overcooked. I seem to get about the same number of rolldowns
in Andalusian as any other color...3-5%. I never seem to get a
stiff andalusian that just won't roll. The same parents will
commonly raise an andalusian self, an indigo check self, and/or
a black self. I seem to have a number of good blacks, so it is
definitely in the line, not just the color. The indigo check
selfs are a close second in number of good performers. It's
funny, the blacks come off the same parents, yet most of the
purist guys would not consider them to be color birds. ??? Go
figure...

Scott,
Makes sense.....that's why I have been slowly culling out most
everything but my andalusians that perform to standard...and the
birds from those same lines which are not andalusians........ my
reduced lines are almost as good......they are consistantly
deeper birds, but you know the issues that can go along with
deeper birds. I get the odd blue bar, recessive red or dilute
that is top shelf, but they are more rare.....

The picture is posted to go along with Frank Moska article on
the color.
IMO Oriental Roller has nothing to do with Birmingham Roller and
their colors. But West Of England would be the other way
around.
