I couldn't afford a black eyed leucistic back then(2008) so I took the roundabout route and bought a pair of fires from Bob Clark. Their first clutch together(not much breeding interest last year) and the three eggs on the bottom left are BELs! Pretty exciting day for me, can't wait for the little suckers to crawl out so I can see how much they vary! Please enjoy and excuse me for the nana dance.

That is AWESOME! I can't wait to see them out of the eggs, and congrats!

Gratz! I'm waiting on a clutch that will hopefully give me my blue eyed lucy.

Thanks all, time sure did crawl along but well worth it to see that white nose!

Super fires are so valuable genetically! Congrats !!

Thanks again! I'm interested to see how much yellow these have coming from the same parents/clutch. I was browsing Mike Wilbanks' site and saw this tidbit:

While our sample size is still way too small to make any definitive declarations about the frequency of the yellow pigmentation, we can share our experience for what it is worth. Our data shows that about 25% are pure white with no yellow pigmentation, about 65% have some amount of yellow from 1 or 2 spots to several and about 10% have extreme yellow/orange pigmentation.

I love em all but it'd be cool if I got one of each type, dare to dream..

Gratz! Can't wait to see them! And good luck on that spots thing too!
