These would be our first Pewters, as we missed on them last year. They all emerged between day 57 and 58. What came out of the eggs was 3 Pastels and 3 Cinnys. It was amazing how much color they gained in the last week.

My second story involves hatching Axanthics. Over the last three years, we have hatched 7 clutches of Axanthics, with 3 more to go this year. Every clucth when I cut, I count the Axanthics, and every clutch, I always over count by 1 or 2. It is because in that last week, they develop into normals.

In essence, all I did was to agree with all of the precious posters that color is definitely majority aquired in the last week.

Hope that helps,

Wow Tim that is very interesting.

Thank you for sharing both instances.

Good luck on hitting Pewters in the near future.
