Nice looking Ruby's. I like the birds with the black flecks in them.

Bigbull, I like your pics of the Rubys. What stands out the most to me is how amazingly their phenotype compares to my own! Some clever breeding there! Raul.

The problem with Ruby's is they all look alike! Oh, wait that's not a problem! :) Bigbull, I would encourage you to keep them pure and keep the gene pool tight. Very tight! They are so refined when you get them that close inbreeding will NOT bring out any adverse traits, it will only produce birds that look alike, respond alike, produce as good or better then themselves and spin,spin,spin! I'm in my fifth generation of father daughter, mother son pairings and they are only getting better.
This year I bred 35 young Ruby's from 4 pair of father daughter matings. All of the pairings were picked for their performance in the air and their demeanor in the loft. I value the easy loft bird almost as much as the great spinner. When you have both of those traits then you have birds that are easy in your hand but rip the sky full of holes! :)
I hope you have as much fun and success as I have. Take care Thom
