    If it's an entire clutch, it might be a difference in incubation temps that you didn't notice? Or just parentage.
    I guess it wasnt the entire clutch just all the yellow bellies in one clutch. I had 8 eggs, 2 were ivories, 5 were yellow belly, and 1 normal. The 2 ivories and the normal will eat everything everytime offered, the yellow bellies it seems are vegitarians in the other clutch all the fires are picky but all the lessers and lesser fire combo eat just fine. Its weird. Im not too concerned about it, I will get them eating steady but just struck me as odd that I would have so many uninterested feeders all at the same time when I havent had any problems all year.
