I also agree, a very very nice blood was my first corn, and at the time we had no idea what it was til I talked to Kathy Love. But mine was not near as dark red, and I really liked her. Sad she died shortly after her first clutch, and me not knowing that much about them, and thought my blood was like the rest, I kept only one baby. And she excaped, and still MIA. OK, that a bit of my history.

She was bred to what we called a het male. Washed out pattern, but much closer to normal. She had 9 eggs. Here I wish I had known what to look for, hind site is 20/20, and it is why I lurk in here so much.

Babies looked from near normal(but good normals), to almost okeetee, to the more classic silver head and sides. So my knowledge from 1 clutch is the pattern fade is as variable and maybe more important independent of the red. Some red babies had great saddles, while a near normal looking one was a tad hypo.

I really hope my female pops up here, but I do know who bought 1 of the males, although it was not 1 of the better ones, more pattern than a blood should and some black on the belly.

That variation in that first clutch is what got me so excited to breed bloods. Although my first was by far the best.
