BEAUTIFUL! Keep us posted as you unravel the mystery.
After emails/chats with some of the big breeders your side of the pond they are all of a similar opinions. It cannot be incubation related, that the mother is possibly a hidden gene animal, it's a new (unproven) line of a striped granite type Royal and there may well be a super form.
The 'Y' neck stripe is a genetic factor of the NERD lemon pastel that sired this clutch.
All are eating now and having resisted a couple of tempting offers on the clutch I'm going to grow them on and go for a super. If a hatchling male is not up to size this year to breed back to the mother i'll re-breed the same pairing this season to prove it out. Mother is eating like a pig and up to 2.3kgs.
*whines* *grabby hands* Those are my favorite bp babies of this season by far!!! I can't wait till you play with that momma some more and see what kind of crazy combos you make!!!
