We of the rainbow forum pride ourselves in making this a "happy place", flaming is frowned upon here   We openly welcome one and all, off-topic posts are welcome as well. One of our regular "stars" is Jack, an Indigo owned and photographed by Ed.
Sorry to hear about the little ones with defects. It happens, not one of the high points of breeding but a reality anyone who breeds is likely to have to deal with sooner or later. With two in one litter, I'd be concerned with one of two things...
1) Genetics - how unrelated (or related) are the parents. Understood there are no pedigrees and even if we think they are unrelated, they could be cousins.
2) Husbandry - specifically temps. What temps was she gestating at?
Of course it could be just one of those things. Also, have you checked the rest out closely looking for less noticeable minor defects?
