Well I hope some answers about this are uncovered. I'm really curious as to what is going on genetically.

So far, it would appear that 2 out of 7 are 99% black with only a few yellow specks.

Still waiting on the last egg to pip, and there are two more that are still hiding in their eggs...

I will definitely have to keep some of mine and see what happens. Also not sure if the trait came from the male or female. The male has an excessively pretty belly (a lot of orange and yellow) the female has some yellow specks.

This is a pic of the male...I'm guessing it must have come from the female, but I don't want to rule him out 100% either.
