That clutch #006 will be a fun one to hatch out! ^_^
Something I was wondering when you made the first post, why are you crossing you line of pieds with another line? To test compatability, to bring in new blood? I guess I'm curious b/c what would you say the babies are (I know....pieds are pieds are awesome) if they aren't your line and they aren't the other? How do you know what traits came from your line then?

I'm crossing them for a couple reasons, the main one is I have little choice. I only have one breeder male from my line, my pastel het pied male... and he stopped breeding early this year and I had to back him up with something to ensure viable clutches. The pastel pied from my line is thinking about kicking in for me late in the season, but that isn't something I'm relying on.
You can be sure I'll produce plenty of clutches next year that are completely my line!! I'm looking forward to it, because I really do believe they have some unique characteristics....
So as long as you hit the odds you should have a patel pied for sale this year??? Maybe?? Hopefully?? Good luck on your clutches I got my fingers crossed for ya.

If I didn't use up all my luck last year, I'm thinking so!
