       Orange eye/odd eye

       Hi Guys, I have in my kit of Rubys a red check young hen with
       one orange eye and one odd eye/bull eye? This little hen is
       probaly one of the best kitting and rolling performers in the
       kit! I have no problem with the eye color, just curious if this
       is possibly due to this bird having ancestors that were of bald
       headed markings? I have seen this and do have odd eyed birds out
       of my Bob Brown based birds with the  bald headed pattern, but
       have never seen this in  self colored birds. Does anyone have
       any useful info on this?

       Interesting question.  I surfed the net trying to find an answer
       and ultimately ended up reading Hollander (way over my head) and
       went back to Mumtaztic Pigeon Loft for an easy to read
       explanation.   There seems to be some validity in thinking there
       is a between piebald birds and odd eye.  The only odd eye bird I
       have happens to be a Mee baldie, though that small sample proves
       nothing.
       Chesley - self = solid color and odd-eye = two different color
       eyes.

       Hi Mark, Thanks. I believe it may have something to do with the
       bald head pattern. I had a self black hen and red bar cock
       produce a bald head lavender. Ill have to check my records as I
       think this hen with the odd eyes comes from the same pair.

       a
       lot of my old family Mee birds have alot of odd eye birds in the
       group I wondered what was behind this they do as well as any
       othere bird in the family but every one does have the bald
       headed pattern

       Hey Raul, I get some odd eyes in my Bald Heads but it does not
       effect how they spin! :) Here is a bull eyed B/H hen that can
       only be called "Sexie"
       The odd eye may go away if the odd eyed bird is bred to a solid
       color bird.

       Hey Scott, thank you young man. I sent this little hen to a
       board member several years ago. He has since passed but I think
       his wife still keeps some of his birds. So as far as I know the
       baldie is making little bald heads still. She spun as good as
       she looked by the way. :)
       Take care my friend
       Thom

       I am sure she did or she would have never made it out of your
       loft. I have never seen a bald headed ruby as you know I have
       just started with this family or should I say  my wife has she
       took them over now and she  loves them she only has the
       standered colors for now but colors dont mean anything the roll
       is where it needs to be
