    Need help identifying new hatchlings!
    So my first clutch this season turned out to be dual sired. That second sire was a lesser enchi pastel and the dam was a super pastel calico. So the first picture I’m pretty sure is a lesser pastel. Now the next two have me scratching my head. I’m almost positive one is a super pastel lesser calico and the other is a pastel lesser calico but I just can’t tell. I’ve talked to another breeder and he said he can see the 2nd one being possibly enchihttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...afa7f99bb4.jpg

    I'd call them Pink, Pinker, and Pinkest, but then I always was a smart aleck anyway.
    Nice babies, btw. :)

    I'd agree the first one is lesser pastel. I think the second one may be a super pastel enchi lesser? And the last maybe adds calico onto that? It looks very grey, though! Definitely a headscratcher. Hopefully they get a bit clearer after a couple of sheds!

    I was thinking the 2nd one might have enchi in it. I will definitely be posting pictures of them after they shed out!

    Pretty sure 2 and 3 both have super pastel and lesser based on the extreme head blushing and the shade of the second, shrinkage of the alienheads in the last. Calico may be pretty hard to tell in these because a lot of lessers already have such a washed out lower half, but you might be able to after a few sheds. Better pics where you could see more of the lower side pattern would help a lot. Enchi would be easier to identify with the side of the head in the picture but based on the side pattern alone it does have the look of that in the 2nd one. 3rd one is really, really silver for any combo with those genes. Any way you missed cinnamon in one of the parents or something similar? What was the first sire?

    I was thinking 2 could be a super pastel lesser enchi and the 3rd would be a super pastel lesser calico? A few are going into shed right now so I should have updated pictures in a few days. The other sire of the clutch was a banana cinnamon pinstripe

    Here are a few pics I got of others online.
    Maybe the 2nd one is super pastel lesser enchi calico and the 3rd one is a just a pastel lesser calico? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3d58050ed7.jpg

    Like I said I have to wait for them to shed to really see what they are but I think I may be on the right track
