Newest update of my 2012 hatchlings!

All are really nice especially the first fire male!:bow:

They are fantastic, especially the fires. :gj:

Gale,
Those are some fine hatchlings you have there. The fires are just beautiful.

I will indeed be repeating this pairing. With babies like these I'd be crazy not to! Of course, next time around I'll have an incubator I can trust!

I cannot say 100% that those are genetic blackback, but it seems really promising that the mom has it, and babies from 3 different dad's showed the trait to one degree or another, wouldn't you say?

I hope to begin my pied projects this year as well, so I should have some nice morph het pieds if all goes in my favor.

Great looking babies!

I'd say that last one is a Spider though and not a Woma.

Wow zeros I might be a bit late on this page, but that first fire is SHWEET!!!

Well, the pairing that produced the woma/spider hatchling was my husbands. He put a woma male, a spider male and a lesser male with his female. In retrospect, not the smartest thing to do I grant you but he has to learn somehow. There were three hatchlings that we took to be spiders at first. Gradually, we decided the female was woma and the males were spiders. I can't tell you for sure just why, other than the fact that the female carries the banding we associate with the woma male and the spiders don't, they carry the mother's reduced pattern. I'll try and get more pictures of them so I can show you what I mean.

All the babies are beautiful Gale :) If you produce any high white pied females within the next year please keep me in mind!
