The story:
Last year I hatched 1.0 Yellowbelly Piebald that I called the Pumpkin Pied. About a month after that, a friend in Florida hatched three YB Pieds that looked better than a normal pied, but nothing like the one I hatched! Even the yb het sibs looked different than the ones from my clutch.
So I began to think that there may have been a third trait at work in my original Pumpkin Pied that was giving it that extra boost in orange and reducing the black outlining in the pattern
Repeating the exact same pairing this season, I believe that I've proved my theory! For now I'm called the third trait "Gene X"
1.0 YB Pied (looks like the others produced last season)
0.1 Pumpkin Pied! (YB + Piebald + "Gene X")

I'm thrilled with them... Thoughts? Justin
