I've posted this guy before, but there's been some progress since, he's an odd CH import...
He was bred to a het red axanthic last year, and I got these two from him...
Definitely something here...
And I'd say probably something here as well...more subtle, but enough similarities for me to keep her...
This year, I bred the original male to a blonde pastel female and got this...
Not quite what I was expecting after seeing his offspring from last year, but I'm pleased...at least one gene at work here...and here's the rest of the clutch from the blonde pastel pairing...
Probable carrier of father's gene...
Another pastel, possible, though I can't say likely carrier of father's gene...female so I'll keep her to breed back just in case...
And a normal...
