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

Thank you all. The super "camo" is the result of pewter het pied bred back to his pewter mom. We have 7 eggs from her incubating from other breedings this year but we plan on repeating the pewter x pewter pairing again this season. It would be even more "super" if the camo look was reproducible but we aren't counting on it.;)

Thanks again everyone!

Yea...sign me up for one of those!!!

Yeah, under normal circumstances, those would be sterlings for sure. But having seen what the het pied gene does to your cinnies and pewters, who knows.

So I haven't seen that gray and silver thing updated in a while. Is that what you think it is now, a super pewter het pied? MAN. It was hot when it hatched, but it's AMAZING now.

I'm pretty convinced they are Sterlings. Having hatched out so many pewter het pieds, it's pretty easy to see. I just wanted other opinions before I could call them Sterling for sure.

The Super is just that.....a Super pos. het Pied. I think the Pied gene may be expressing itself in het form but I won't know for sure until I breed him this season. He is the offspring of pewter het Pied x pewter. The mother is what started my pewter pied project and looks a little different than most pewters...even those I've hatched. She is extreme to say the least. Now to add the Enchi gene to the mix....:)

THAT will make some NICE Pied stuff when combined with your Pewter stock...

Those Sterlings are STUNNING, congrats! Of course, the Super is jaw dropping.

I say sterling just because they look VERY similar to a sterling I just picked up (pics taken 3 days out of egg)
