Male dinker?

I have a couple other pictures of him. One is of his side, the other is another from up top. That was the best one, but I'll post these too. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/07/6u2evajy.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/07/7uryqe9y.jpg

Marking up the prices on normals for to sell it for more is shameful on the seller. But I am all for the buyer buying as long as they know the risks. It's not like it costs me anything for them to spend their money. But to each their own, that is your opinion and I respect it.

I like him but I wouldn't say he was worth three times as much as other normal males. It's a gamble really.

Amir from Yellowbellyball.com has a line of genetic harlequins. Maybe you could send the pics to him and ask if it looks like a good prospect? I dunno, just a thought. I think he's in Germany until Tuesday though...

I would take the gamble for $100, but that's me. Really is a matter of opinion.

It's most likely just a normal, but you never know. We tried proving our striped dinker out last year. Got 10 eggs, but none of them really looked like the dad. We are now holding a few of the offspring back to breed back to dad. It's a long drawn out process. If you are up to it...Give it a shot. $150 is a bit much for a normal, but it's not much in the grand sceme of things.
