06/8/05 19:08:22 Greg_S: I've been putting wooden eggs under mine now
06/8/05 19:08:42 Wade_O: Not lately George. I think most sales will come from wholesale orders to the ADA, Stromberg's and such. Any word from Denny?
06/8/05 19:08:57 George: Not yet
06/8/05 19:09:41 George: I will have to check with him.How many did you send him
06/8/05 19:09:57 Doug: I should have some nice ones to show this fall. Even if they aren't winners, ther something for people to look at.
06/8/05 19:10:13 George: That is what counts
06/8/05 19:10:18 Greg_S: I need to start planning for that too, Doug
06/8/05 19:10:37 Wade_O: Just the one he ordered. I have 50 boxed up and ready to go though.
06/8/05 19:11:13 George: He was suppose to order one for each board member to check out
06/8/05 19:11:32 Wade_O: Nope, he never did that.
06/8/05 19:11:34 George: It was approved to dothat
06/8/05 19:11:42 Wade_O: Maybe he just thought he would pass one around.
06/8/05 19:12:03 George: I will checkinto it
06/8/05 19:12:56 George: By the time he passes it around it will be worn out
06/8/05 19:13:27 Wade_O: I'm sorry you haven't gotten yours yet. Hopefully any day.
06/8/05 19:13:54 George: These knots on my head are getting larger

06/8/05 19:19:17 George: Yes
06/8/05 19:19:45 Doug: Great, that ones close to home.
06/8/05 19:20:14 George: We had a pretty good time at it
06/8/05 19:20:38 Doug: Hopefully bigger this year.
06/8/05 19:20:50 Brenda: where in asheville is it? is it near the biltmore?
06/8/05 19:21:03 George: Greg is apricot orange and ivory cross
06/8/05 19:21:28 Doug: We had some great looking Doves there last year, I' sure we'll have a bigger turn out this year.
06/8/05 19:21:36 George: Brenda it is at a high school
06/8/05 19:21:52 Greg_S: Apricot is Ivory + Tangerine
06/8/05 19:22:03 Ashley Logs in
06/8/05 19:22:18 George: I must have hatched two tangerines then
06/8/05 19:22:34 Greg_S: hi Ashley
06/8/05 19:22:38 Doug: Hello Ashley.
06/8/05 19:22:41 George: They are light like a orange
06/8/05 19:22:53 Brenda: hi ashley
06/8/05 19:22:55 Ashley: hi guys
06/8/05 19:23:12 Greg_S: you can usually tell the Tangerine when the pinfeathers start growing, they are pretty dark
06/8/05 19:23:14 George: Of course they are still in the nest so they will change
06/8/05 19:23:25 Doug: Are they speckled on the wing like Apricot?
06/8/05 19:23:58 George: These are feathered out good.They are lighter
06/8/05 19:24:23 George: No they are solid head and all
06/8/05 19:24:32 Doug: My pairing with Apricot male & Champagne hen are producing Apricots.
06/8/05 19:25:01 Doug: Kinda spotted coloring on the wings.
06/8/05 19:25:11 Greg_S: Apricot and Champagne are the same mutations
06/8/05 19:25:20 Greg_S: so it makes sense they would produce Apricot
06/8/05 19:25:24 George: These arn't speckled
06/8/05 19:25:58 Doug: But the Champagne is smooth color on the wings & also real light color.
06/8/05 19:26:24 George: I have a extra ivory hen and apricot male so I will try them
06/8/05 19:26:26 Greg_S: yes.. its kind of like VN and Ash... same mutations, but they appear differently
06/8/05 19:26:43 Greg_S: You'll get about 1/2 Ivory and 1/2 Apricot babies from them, George
06/8/05 19:27:03 Greg_S: assuming they dont carry rosy or something
06/8/05 19:27:10 George: I just don't want the ring on the apricot
06/8/05 19:27:15 Doug: Thats great to know Greg.
06/8/05 19:27:58 Doug: Thanks.
06/8/05 19:28:27 George: I don't think they do carry the rosy
06/8/05 19:28:29 Greg_S: from the pics I like Champagne better than Apricot.. I've yet to see them in person
06/8/05 19:29:02 George: I had some and they look like a bleached out apricot
06/8/05 19:29:43 Greg_S: I have a Light Frosty and Fawn pair producing some nice Light Frosty babies, george
06/8/05 19:29:53 Doug: You got it George. You look real close to see the color.
06/8/05 19:30:27 Doug: Which is the male Greg.
06/8/05 19:30:37 Greg_S: the male is the Light Frosty
06/8/05 19:30:49 George: So far I am not getting anything but dark frosty
06/8/05 19:31:23 Greg_S: what pairs do you have? I figured it best to pair a Fawn with a Light frosty
06/8/05 19:32:15 George: ONe pair is light frosty to bulleye
06/8/05 19:32:31 Greg_S: which is the male?
06/8/05 19:32:38 George: Another is two light frosty
06/8/05 19:32:59 Greg_S: the 2 light frosty should only produce fawn or light frosty
06/8/05 19:33:00 George: Male is the light
06/8/05 19:33:35 Greg_S: ok in that all the babies should be fawn or light frosty, but all the males will carry white, and all babies will carry pied
06/8/05 19:34:05 Greg_S: A Light frosty male who carries white should be a nice color.. they tend to be lighter
06/8/05 19:34:29 Brenda: do you look at a chart, or is all this information in your head??!!
06/8/05 19:34:33 George: I have hatched one light and it has a white tail
06/8/05 19:34:39 Greg_S: all in my head at this point ;)
06/8/05 19:34:52 Brenda: now THAT's impressive!
06/8/05 19:34:55 Greg_S: its a matter of repetition ;)
06/8/05 19:35:14 Doug: And younger age.
06/8/05 19:35:27 Greg_S: haha doug
06/8/05 19:36:04 Greg_S: took me awhile to get the hang of it, especially the sex linked colors... wild, fawn, white
06/8/05 19:36:31 Brenda: how long have you been doing the dove thing?
06/8/05 19:36:35 Greg_S: pigeons are way more complicated....
06/8/05 19:36:42 Greg_S: I've had RN's for about 3 years now
06/8/05 19:36:49 Doug: I'm going to call Dr m. Greg
06/8/05 19:37:20 Doug: I' trying to write some of this down.
06/8/05 19:37:27 Brenda: i would have guessed more. i've only had them a year, but not for breeding, so i don't pay to much attention to all that
06/8/05 19:37:37 Greg_S: the breeding chart on the IDS site is most helpful
06/8/05 19:37:58 Greg_S: it gives the results of a lot of different combinations of pairs
06/8/05 19:38:06 George: I am wanting to see the ringneck from the Netherlands
06/8/05 19:38:25 George: Or some of his pictures
06/8/05 19:38:28 Greg_S: I need to ask James about his new contact.. would be nice to get some birds from over there
06/8/05 19:38:30 Doug: What colors are they
06/8/05 19:38:37 Greg_S: George, I have a bunch of pics from Hein
06/8/05 19:38:47 Brenda: i love the sites that have LOTS of pictures to show what all the colors are that you all talk about. it helps to identify what we have
06/8/05 19:39:03 Greg_S: they have a mutation they call "Gray"... its kind of like a frosty, but its a recessive mutation
06/8/05 19:39:10 George: Iam in need for pictures for the quilt we are making
06/8/05 19:39:22 Greg_S: also one called Grizzle... it adds interesting speckled features to darker colors
06/8/05 19:40:48 Ashley: cool
06/8/05 19:40:53 George: Greg if you have any picture you can share email them to me
06/8/05 19:41:25 Greg_S: I sent you the link, george
06/8/05 19:41:32 George: OK
06/8/05 19:42:03 George: I just need some I can transfer
06/8/05 19:42:48 Brenda: does anyone know of a site that might list what flowers are poisonous to doves?
06/8/05 19:43:10 Doug: I'm framing Dove pic's for my comp. room.
06/8/05 19:43:11 George: Ids did have something on this
06/8/05 19:43:35 Brenda: i'll search that site then, i didn't recall that....
06/8/05 19:43:40 George: How many do you have
06/8/05 19:44:14 Brenda: how many doves do i have?
06/8/05 19:44:32 Brenda: 7
06/8/05 19:44:51 George: Brebda I saw a list that gave all of them but don't remember which website it was on.It could be IDS
06/8/05 19:45:17 Brenda: i'll search - thanks
06/8/05 19:45:56 George: You may have to click on his links then go from there to it
06/8/05 19:46:16 Brenda: ok, i'll check around now
06/8/05 19:46:27 George: Doug have you got the wall filled yet?
06/8/05 19:47:14 Doug: I have approc.two dozen pic's so far. Afew from you.
06/8/05 19:47:40 Greg_S: Brenda, I think I saw it on the IDS tips page
