I have several good rolling birds that have some feathers on their legs ?? There not long feathers but some of them go clear down to their feet . They roll real good and I was just wonder why the feathers ?? Thank You

Just another one of the many mutations in pigeons. Muffs, grouse legs, boots, slippers, they are all part of the muff gene in pigeons. And no, it has nothing to do with how good of a roller.

T-Town, yeah just an mutation, sometimes i will get gross legged birds from clean leg parents or vise versa i may have birds that have stockings but they will throw clean legs. I have seen and i'm sure you have to ,rollers that were heavy muffed and guys that breed for this,why, i dont know but it is all about performance first.

----------
If they don`t kit,they don`t score.
Color don`t roll and peds don`t fly.
It`s a comp thing,understand?

All the birds I got from Tom Hatcher in 1994 were booted all the way to the toes. I really liked the looks of them, plus the performance was there :)
