    Super Dupers or just pastels?
    I am new to breeding, so please excuse any rookie mistakes on my part.

    I started this thread posting a pic of what looked to be a deceased super pastel.

    Now to the stuff that is confusing me.

    This was a 9 egg clutch, so I had 1 DOA and 2 normal's, which leaves me 6 eggs, of which 4 clutch mates I have taken pictures of below.

    I know a good way to indentify a super pastel is by a lighter head pattern, but I am doubting this because I know the odds for supers from a pastel x pastel clutch are 25% per egg if I am not mistaken and it appears that I have like 5 supers, which I don't believe..

    Anyway, those with experience with supers, please lend your opinion on what I have here.

    Brandon,

    You'll have to take some pictures that don't wash the animals colors out so much. I can't tell from the photos you posted.. :(

    try staying back from them when flash is on and zoom in a lil bit to get the closer picture without the flash washing color away.

    Or you could put tracing paper over the flash to diffuse the flash a little better.

    I wish I could say either way for sure. They look awfully Super but remembering how extremely light and washed out the mom was for a non-Super, I would expect the babies to reflect her color a bit and be extra light too. Hopefully it will be easier to tell after a shed. Until then, they are Really Pastels!
