Hey everybody,
Do any of you find that certain color birds carry more frequency than others as a general rule?

Thor,
Over the years I've seen it in my blues and the same with other families.

Color?!Since most of my birds are red or black I would say that my reds or blacks are the most frequent. Just a smart ass way of say it just deepends on your family what bird(s) roll frequent. If your family throws a lot of blacks then it is more likely that black is your most frequent spinner.

I guess what I am trying to say is that there is no universal color that give you a frequent spinner. If that was the case why would we have any other color?
Color is not a factor in determining quality of performance.
Scott, Kenny, Dave H, and both Brians -tell us what you think of color (LOL)

Nick we don't all want what some consider frequency, what some consider frequent is nothing more than busy doo doo.
Nick all I know is "my" birds, it evolves around charactor or lack of.
charactor does follow color to an extent with many familys,but selection also plays in , in a big way.
I can take blue checkers within my line and breed them over cooked and over frequent if I chose to do so.
I flew the Calif state fly today and when the judge was done he said "I thought blue checker kits were supposed to be stiff " he asked me "what is different with mine ?" The reply was simple "selection" , the kit I flew today had 17 blue and 2 rec reds.
Does color play in to some degree ? Yes no doubt about it because charactor will color follow to a degree.
"Smokey" is a sign of qaulity within my birds , but it isn't a 100 0/0 either.

My Blacks and Ash Reds are my very best, but if I were to fly recessives I would have a kit that would be more frequent. They would not be able to handle the velocity for too long though.
