what birds do you put together to breed the black pigeons Please don't say Black to Black hahaha
Well that is the easy way. If you have NO black pigeons in your loft, you unlikely to breed one. You need either to get a black, or you need a blue-black base colored bird combined with the dominant spread gene That is say a blue or cheq that has the spread gene. So a blue that's bred from a black, may have the gene, you won't know until you breed from it.
My blacks often breed blues & cheqs that then go on to breed blacks themselves.
