The two surviving babies from my disastrous VPI snow clutch are crawling out of their eggs. And... I don't know what they are! They looked axanthic in the egg, but they don't have that perfect gray-and-black monochrome look to them. There's definitely some gold on top, but it's very pale, very washed-out.
Here's a picture of the one that's out already, hanging out with the het pieds and black pastels from my first clutch. It's much paler than a normal, but I'm not convinced it's an axanthic, either. Is it just a really, really pale double het?
Help! What the heck did I hatch?
The two eggs that failed contained one albino het axanthic and one more maybe-axanthic-maybe-double-het.
