The hens eye is far superior to the cocks for breeding. She has a similar deep and full inner circle. Which is well serrated. She has much more room in the eye with the iris being not as strong. There is a lot of graining also in the circle of colouration. This is when I think that breeding from winners isn’t always the best way to improve a family. I have often found that my best breeders aren’t always the best of racers. You need to know your family of pigeons though and have a good base to it. I think this is why a lot of fanciers have a couple of good years but are then continually buying in new stock. They might have good racers but they don’t know how to breed them.

I think he's a cracking looking bird George again I think it's a good distance eye and should compliment your hen nicely.
I also really like the blue tic eyed hen, do you know if she did anything ???
Is the pair still together or have you tried them with other partners ???
