I also see a pewter. Here's a pewter that I hatched this year.
Before shed
After
Just for comparison anyways
Also I know females can retain for to a year. I got a het hypo female last year and bred her this year only pairing her with my hypo male. Out of the clutch I got hypos, hets and a pastel het hypo. My friends records showed that she had been paired 1x with a pastel hypo last year. So my thoughts anyways is could she have been paired at anytime with a sterling?
