    Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,

    Years ago someone posted a pic of a clownish het clown on the VPI Breeders Bragging Post site and Tracy Barker replied something to the effect that some het clowns look clown like. I don't think it’s nearly as common as het pieds with the pied belly but apparently several "recessive" morphs have sporadic co-dominant tendencies.

    Some hets (any recessive het) have really crazy/funky patterns and/or colors. I would say you have a gorgeous het clown!

    Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,

    Thanks Stephanie I think if there is anything different with her then it's the granite speckling ( the male shows similar traits ) If I get lucky and they prove to be genetic granites I'll be happy but either way I'm proud to have this girl in my collection

    Or it could be that some "recessives" are very subtle co-doms, so subtle that we don't perceive the heterozygous expression unless it's an exceptional individual.

    Re: Crazy Looking Het Clown Female,

    I know what your saying here I have often thought about it and the wife said the same how do we know that recessives aren't actually co-doms and the visual form is a super form, With the 'Hets' being virtually normal but with slight differences. You see it with alot of different recessives and people say they are 'Markers'.
