08_clutch#004 - Hatched! - Pastel het Pied (Kobylka Line) & Pied (Kahl Line) x Normal - 6 eggs & 1 slug
= 2.4 50% Possible Het Pieds
Notes: Super happy with the ratio on this one! I strongly suspect that my pied male sired this entire clutch, but since the Pastel Het Pied also bred the female, these babies are labeled 50% Hets.
Further Notes: I promised to disclose all the data that will help help in the "Pied Markers - Fact or Fiction" debate. So here it is my first chance!
Belly shot of dame in Clutch#004 - Very normal, one cannot say that any belly striping was passed on from mom.
Now we have belly shots of all 6 of 08_Clutch#004 offspring - clutch likely sired by Pied male, but possibly also by my Pastel 100% het Pied. - Not one typical belly in the clutch. Every hatchling has standard het pied marker traits.
I hope this is helpful. Much more data to come. Not hiding anything!
08_clutch#005 - Hatched! - Lavender x Normal - 6 eggs
Notes: This dame proved genetic reduced pattern back in 2005, took a couple of years off and now again in 2008. 4 eggs went bad in this clutch... Having eggs go bad is no fun and gives a very powerless feeling!
Hatched:
1.0 Genetic Reduced Het Lavender
0.1 Het Lavender
More HIGH CONTRAST Lavender hets! No blushing anywhere...
Also had another BIG ovulation last night. 50 days staring now!
