My Dominant Opal was found in a family of inbred Black Badge, Balds, and Saddles. Sam Wesley had got birds from me and was happier with them than this Black marked family. This family was from Illinois, I do not remember the fancier, Sam probably does. One of his concerns with the blacks was their inability to breed well. I was at his place for a visit and he had 20 or so of his black marked breeders boxed up to go to the pigeon dealer. He asked me if I wanted any of them. I found a slate tinged Black Badge with a small sliver of rosy beige where the feathers of the neck meet the breast feathers. It was an unusual color for this area, and something I had never saw before. I brought this hen home and tossed her in my Stock Cock holding pen (it was off season). My top Stock Cock at the time paired with her and they nested over the top of the of a closed up individual breeding coop. The first two youngsters were Dominant Opal hens. This explained the poor breeding results Sam had been having, the lethal effects of the Dominant Opal. These youngsters were spread opal, but very recognizable as Dominant opal. The recessive genes or combination of recessive genes that had kept it hidden in the Black family was broken when paired to my old Stock Cock. These Black marked birds were good average rollers. They very well could have been better than we thought, as we were not accomplished flyers at that time. The type on the Blacks was perfect. My Old Stock cock was a champion in my opinion. He would roll deep when high, shallow when low, very active pigeon, rolled with a very smooth, very small hole. He was out of pure Pensoms, all this happened in 1971.
I do not consider my OD's to be an introduced gene or mongrel. The Blacks the gene was found in were performing Rollers. They probably were not pure Pensoms, but I think they were Birminghams. Some of the OD's around the country did not originate from my stock, but it would be safe to say that lots of the good ones did. This gene and spin are connected somehow. The number of good ones of this color proves it to me.
I really enjoy your writings.
