Mine was bred from another brown Neil. The brown gene is not common in Racing pigeons. Brown feathers will fade into a cream color and then fray with age by the suns rays. This is why Brown is not commonly found in most racing lofts. Brown wing feathers also do not hold up to the stress of racing.

All pigeons come from only 3 base colours. (1) blue/black, (2) ash red & (3) brown. with the most dominant 1, then 2, then 3.
It can come from ANY of the 3 base colours.. A Chocolate is a Recessive Red. A recessive red will require two genes (factors) to show itself. So unless your birds have the recessive gene your very unlikely to breed one. Many chocs/recessive reds in the Mulemann family can come from two non-chocs where BOTH parents carry the recessive gene.NeilA wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 7:42 pmI don’t think I have seen one beforeking wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 7:14 pmMine was bred from another brown Neil.

What would a chocolate come from as a base colour is that brown or red base
