all the best, PigeonIP (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

P.s: May be better to start a gallery on commons. --PigeonIP (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Nice, ! Can you give a ref for that (save me looking for it) and I'll go ahead and add it, though maybe not in next few days. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:51, 18 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The EE-List of breeds and colours sometimes this it mixid with german. Maybe there are colours without an english name as well. The lists for pigeons are better (but only in 3 languages)  (5 pages with colours ;), 2 for markings and variations, like shell crest, muffed... .) --PigeonIP (talk) 11:29, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Clarification of Self description
In the Self description, could someone please explain "Show quality strains may have even pigmentation throughout the outer plumage, production or pet quality strains are likely to not.". This sentence is very awkward and it is not clear what it means. If it is distinguishing between show quality hens on the one hand and production or pet quality hens on the other, then this does make sense, but it could be written in a clearer manner. It doesn't read very well. If this is the case, I would be happy to edit it myself.Geoff Pointer (talk) Geoff Pointer (talk) 23:54, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, sorry to Ping you out of the blue. I just thought I'd remind you of your interest in this article and ask -why not go ahead and update it yourself?! Cheers! --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 07:59, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps because it's already been dealt with, ? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't get it, you appear to have removed it altogether, rather than clarify. Did you think it wasn't an important distinction? Geoff Pointer (talk) 21:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
