Re: Pastel Ghost Question
Thanks, and very nice by the way!
Yours does have way more fading and the ghostly look that would have left me sure if I had one like that.
I wonder if mine being part way between the two in your middle pic on the "purple head" scale indicates that they are any more likely to have hit their 66% chance of being het ghost? I produced the 50% chance het hypo mom and her 100% het dad was very nice and almost exactly half of her clutch was noticeably lighter than the other half. Unfortunately she was the only light female. I sold all the males and the darker females as normals so hitting on the only one tested isn't a big enough sample size to say it couldn't be some gene other than a single hypo copy making the bright half of mom’s clutch.
Oh well, I'll have to try this pair again next year and get a hypo pastel!
Re: Pastel Ghost Question
I've heard it mentioned a few times that het hypo's do tend to be a little brighter than their siblings.
