To tell you the truth, I didn't realize pinks were supposed to be harder to raise until I heard it from a few friends. I have heard stories of infertility, neurological problems, etc. I have not experienced them myself. However, a few friends have said that their males failed to fertilize eggs last year. I did not have any problems, and I only use one male. This year I kept a back-up male that I want to prove out.
Mine have been easy to breed, hatchability is good, and most have a hearty appetite. I have bred my pink male to double het hypo/pink pastels, as well as a het clutchmate, and saw no difference in the progeny.
If the other morphs I traded for this year are as easy to raise as my pinks, I'll be a happy man. LOL.
