My first clutch of the year proved my c.h. "Red girl". I suspected she was genetic looking the way she does. But you can never know until you breed them. I chose the Butter for her because it would foster a unique merging of color and pattern -- and I wanted to see pink! While I was hoping for the shades of pink and black backs -- the mauve blushing was an unexpected surprise. In person they are stunning in a subtle way!!! They have Boa-like hues really.

The clutch hatched on 4-5-08. The pics are post first shed. For now I will say there were 1.2 Het Cajuns and 2.3 Butter Het Cajuns. My best guess is that she is codominant as I don't see any "normals" or "Butters" when I look at them. The combos have no true browns or yellows. As you can see, my Butter male is VERY light and very yellow(breeding Cinny ).

2 of the 3 prettiest combos are males and so the plan is to grow them up and breed them back to mom and a normal next season -- and possibly a Pastel. I am keeping the whole clutch which officially makes this a PROJECT!!! I'll take pics as they grow in order to keep track of any color changes. Thanks for taking the time.
