This hatchling normal has a belly that is approx. 1/2 patternless and 1/2 panormally patterned with the normal 'piano keys'. The body pattern is completely normal.



The sire is a motley corn that is het lavender.



The dam is a normal corn het for both motley and lavender.



The genetic breakdown for this clutch is:



1-lavender het motley

3-motleys 66% het lavender

4-normals het motley, 66% het lavender (including this oddball)



What I'm wondering is: Is this something genetic that can be inherited by future generation? How many other corn breeders have seen this and how common is this?
