Pied clutch update.

[angllady2]

So I did post a pic or two in another thread, but these guys are special enough to me after what I went through I wanted them to have a thread of their own.

The 50/50 pied turned out to be a boy. And even though I have a male pied, he isn't going anywhere. He is far to precious to me to give up. He has shed out now, and I will be attempting to feed tonight.



You can see his little white tail tip. I just adore that! This is not the best picture, but he's got a smiley face as well!


His het pied sister was the last one to emerge from the egg. She's a big girl, and not only has a banded pattern, but a sick tail stripe thing going on. I don't think I'll have any trouble selling her.




And of course the baby I nearly lost. A het pied boy. I've already begun to refer to him as Tiny. He hasn't shed yet, but is so small I assist fed him a mouse fuzzy. He has the tail stripe thing as well.


I don't know yet if he's going to stay with me. If he sheds out soon and begins to eat and catch up to the others, he'll probably get a special home of his own. If he continues to have trouble, he'll stay here.

Thanks to everyone who has been by my side through the ups and downs. If I didn't have you guys, I don't know what I would do.

Gale,
The het girl. Is her pattern what was expected or do you think she is the result of an incubator spike as well? Just curious as she has a great look. Congrats on the pied boy. He is very nice and well balanced.

Well, the spike happened when these eggs were no more than 5 or 6 days into the incubator, so I strongly doubt that affected her pattern. Especially since her brother has an identical stripe. Their mother Toki has a little bit of a stripe thing, and their daddy Yakul has a tail stripe. So I think it comes from mom and dad. The banding was unexpected, but the great thing about pieds is the funky pattern, so who knows where that came from.
