Lesser platinum clutch

Hi all,

Here is my second P.regius clutch this year, lesser platinum male x normal female. There is only one lesser ;( and its a boy, siblings are 2,3. Please look closer to the siblings and also the lesser, they all have a lot of speckling on the sides. They are similar to the "granite" that I saw on RDR website, is it possible that such a gene showed up in my cross?

Wow! They really do have granite peppering in their sides, but their neck patterns don't follow the normal granite markers in item 2 in this list:

Mom may have something special going on - I'd hang on to some of the girls and raise them up and breed them to their brother to see what's going on - even breed the boy back to mom!

Congrats!

ooooo wow i love it! :gj::O

Lesser is real nice!

Nice looking clutch.. I would say you definitly have some sort of genetics behind it. I dont know alot about granites, but for your baby lesser to have the same sort of patterns as every single one of the babies plus the mother that has to make you think it was passed on..
Congrats!
Personally I would breed him back to the mother just for fun.

I truly think they are granites...
I think he may have created a granite lesser!!
Yah!!

Something is definitely going on there. Good looking babies.

You're right, I think they do look very granite like, though I think a lot of that is probably coming from Mom. I'd probably hold back the lesser male and breed him back to the mother in a year or two.

Looks like a granite to me!

The Granite Lesser boy back to his mom next season sounds like a good idea!

Your male breeder lesser is awesome looking! And the babies!
