    Second Mystery Clutch (2 of 2) is hatching Results??

    I THINK these are pastels and normals. The father is unknown. The mother was sold to me as a normal because the owner never got any eggs from her but she was sold to him as a Vanilla... The eggs are now hatching but I'm seeing some odd things at least to my untrained eyes. I'm not sure if these are "normal" pastels or if they're possibly Vanilla Pastels or maybe not pastels at all but I think that would be unlikely from what I can see. I'm not sure really what the Vanilla gene does to a pastel but I'm hoping maybe you guys can help me figure this out since some of these babies will have to be sold (can't keep them all!).

    This is the first out of the egg and even in the egg the yellow looked faded compared to the very yellow one right next to it. Do some pastels hatch with very little color while others in the same clutch are very yellow? Or is this a vanilla pastel compared to a normal pastel? I'll get more pictures once they're all out, but I thought maybe someone with more experience could take one look and know what this one is.

    Group shot (the faded one I'm referring to is right in the middle) Notice the very yellow one just right of him:


    Close up in the egg:


    The more yellow one right next to him:


    Out of the egg (First one with flash the rest are without flash but in bad lighting and I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow in the daylight sorry!):




    He's just kind of odd looking to me like he's got a pinkish hue to him and he's almost missing color? What do you guys think?

    I was thinking pastel because of the yellow color on the others and the faded head on this one but now that I think about it, I forgot Vanillas have a faded head too. I figured maybe the color got washed out and the pattern was a bit odd either from the Vanilla gene or maybe it was just a weird patterned pastel that hadn't colored up yet for whatever reason. I didn't cut the egg until after they pipped themselves but I'm not sure if they can still take time to get their colors even after they hatch.
