Cliff,
Nice article you done, but I need to ask a couple of questions. I thought that Bob Bettis lived in Illinois with my buddies Doug Maxey, Bob Hord and all those other great guys.
Now Joe Roe had some great Indigos/Andalusians.There were 4 birds in his 93 kit they were mostly out of his 0050 cock and a indigo bar hen CARC 90 891 . I believe he had 10 matings in his loft in 93 that carried the indigo gene in one form or another. And he had 7 mating with the indigo in 94. And 11 matings in 95.
But I thought the Indigos came from one of the CARC member. I visited his loft a long while back, I think it was around 94 or 95. I can't remember his name but I did hear that he moved and sold all his birds to someone in New Mexico. If I can think of the guys name I will post it. But he might have got them from Bob Bettis.
Again nice article and good luck, your good friend Brian Middaugh
