Clutch #2 started emerging this morning and as usual it was exciting to see what we got. So far 5 are out of the egg with 3 remaining. The first two look like normals, although there is a slight chance one or both are YBs because this is my first year with the YB gene and I'm not 100% sure on identifying them yet. The other three are YB Pastels. I got another breeder's thoughts on them and he thinks that one is definitely a YB pastel, and the other two are YB Pastels with something else going on. You can decide for yourself, and I would appreciate the feedback! The pairing was Bumble Bee to YB. Here are the first 5, and I will post pics of the remaining 3 as they get their butts out of the eggs!

Pastel YB 1:
Pastel YB 2 (something else going on? Note the sort of ringer on the tail, the picture might not show it well though):
Pastel YB 3 (Like #2 but without the tail thing):
Belly shot of YB Pastel #3 (all the pastel's bellies looked like this):
