Do you think it'd be worth it, to holdback a normal or pastel hatchling by your normal females, to breed back to its mom later on down the road? To see if she is carrying any genetics, I mean. I read the post about the Pastel Pieds and it got me thinking.. any one of our girls could be carrying something interesting that we do not know about. Mixups happen.. heck, my biggest female was sold to me as a male that was supposedly not interested in breeding (I wonder why.. as she is a female.. lol..)
I am so tempted to do so, but then it could tie-up my normal girls and hinder breeding efforts for morphs.. from a business standpoint, a clutch of potential normal x normal is nowhere near as profitable as, say, a clutch of pinstripe x normal. I guess it is for anyone to judge for themselves whether the risk is worth it, but I am just shooting for any ideas or success stories in finding a hidden morph
