What are they and what value??

Help me figure these ones out. Mom was a pastel and the dad was a flora fauna calico. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/09/pehy7ama.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/09/qaherade.jpg

They look like Pastel Calico's that could have something else going on.
Do you have pics of the sire and dame to see if maybe one of them has alittle extra in them?
And some better pics of the hatchlings would help too.

These are all the pictures I have at the moment. I could get some more up later tonight.

Looks like you've got the fader gene in your pastel. The fader gene is still mysterious. Some people believe that it is just a really nice pastel that has been selectively bred, while others believe that it is a separate heritable gene. Needless to say, breeders charge a pretty penny for those extremely light pastels.

I don't know what you have, just want to say you have some sweet looking bps

I suspect they are really excellent pastel calicos that will color up spectacularly. I'd wait at least a few sheds to see the color come in, and then I'd check out the high-end of the price range for pastel calicos, see if your animals are comparable in quality, or even better.

(And then you should sell them to me.)

Fader is something you'd have to prove out with a few more clutches to claim. But you can still sell them as "amazing pastel calicos, possibly with something else going on??" That's legit. People can make their own decisions about spending extra $$$ on a spectacular-looking maybe when they see the pictures.

Hey, do you have pictures of the parents? Who did you get them from?

I'll have pictures of both parents and better pics of the babies here Ina hour. What does a high end calico usually go for?

Calicos are in the $4-600 range right now depending on the sex, quality and amount of white.

Looks like pastel calicos are running $1000-1500.

Post the parent pics In a few mins

Move the camera further away, or turn the flash off and put some brighter lights on them. It's impossible to tell anything from those, they're too washed out and the color is way off.

I'm at work I had a buddy take the pics with a not so good camera I'll be able to take my own tomorrow

They just look like pastel calicos. That's one of the very neat things about that combo; it washes out of parts of the pattern.

Did you produce these?

They're not super pastel calicos, the heads are too dark. But that's more the sort of pattern wash-out I would expect to get from super pastel calicos. It's pretty awesome in a "basic" pastel calico.
