Opinions please. Pewters or Sterlings..........

I'm not quite sure if these are Pewters or Sterlings. They are from Pewter het Pied X Pastel het Pied and they are super light compared to other Pewters and Pewter het Pieds we've produced before. This would make about 7 or 8 Pewter het Pied clutches for us in the last 4 years...given these are only 66% pos. het and it's pretty obvious the numbers are right with this clutch. Any opinions on whether these are sterlings or pewters?

I would put money on the cinny being the non het and the other two being the 100% hets....even though they can't be labeled as such. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

I would guess sterling for sure, but I wouldn't be so sure about you having 2 100% hets and one not, remember, those odds are PER EGG!

Yes Jessica you are right. But I've hatched out enough Cinny het Pied and Pewter het Pieds to know which ones are which. ;) The pied gene does interesting things to other morphs even in het form.....for those that don't believe in het pied markers.

Notice anything with them? I'm not the only one to catch on to this.
And here are a couple of others just for fun.

Pewter Pied. She's a 2010 and already near 1200 grams. I hope my Enchi pos het Pied is ready by winter.

And since I've never hatched sterlings, thank you for your input. It is very appreciated.

I have never seen anything like that! Beautiful animals. :bow:

I'd think those were sterlings much lighter than pewters usually look. Especially since you have hit pewter het pieds before (Before you said that I was thinking about how het pied can make animals look so different).
