Freshly Shed Pied Hatchlings

These guys have neat story to them (at least I think so). My pied and het pied locked up once or twice near the end of 2011, along with my other bps who were locking. Then I moved at the end of the year and when I tried to resume breeding none of them were having any of it, including the sire and dam of this clutch. The move just jacked with their interest in breeding. So I just wrote this season off as being lost, and wasn't expecting anything.

Well lo and behold one day I'm cleaning cages and find 7 eggs under my pied girl! She hadn't been eating, but I chalked it up to just one of those "bp things." Since she had only locked twice, I wasn't expecting eggs so wasn't looking for any signs of her being gravid. Anyways, I couldn't believe I got 7 eggs from 2 locks! Unfortunately 4 of them went bad (first bp eggs I ever lost), but I still managed to hatch 1.1 pieds and 1.0 het pied. I'll be holding back the girl. Hatching pieds just never gets old!!

Male het - really nice looking colors, his dorsal black is unbroken from head to tail

I like the long U shape on the female. Like flowing hair off a brunette. (sorry, I see art stuff in anything lol)

Certainly wish I could accidentally, unexpectedly have some pied babies! Must be rough! :D

I am loving that holdback female!

Absolutely gorgeous little Pieds! They're the reason I fell in love with BPs! And pictures like this just makes me go all fuzzy inside :D Beautiful. I love that female you have. She's a stunner. The male is just crazy too! Love his pattern!

I wasn't the biggest fan until I saw one in person. Then I was hooked and knew I had to get into them! Got a pair of hets several years ago and the rest is history.

Gorgeous pieds! Congrats on the clutch.

Congrats! Those pieds are really nice! Can't wait to hopefully prove my het pieds out!

Those are some awesome pieds

Thanks everyone!

I love those Pieds!

Beautiful pieds.:eek:

Thanks guys! Glad to report that all 3 ate over the weekend on the first attempt. Always happy to get little chow hounds!

Great babies! I LOVE Pieds and hopefully will be posting more pics soon of them. I had a male het pied, that turned out to be a female and she just hatched out a nice little clutch of 9 eggs (6 of which are pieds). I'm so excited every time I see pics of pieds!
