First clutch hatched- Multiple fathers

Shawn_T May 26, 2008 04:53 PM

My first clutch of the year is finally here. I breed a Lemon Pastel female to three different males. A Cinnamon Pastel, Pinstripe, and a Fire. At the time I put the pairings together I was hopeing for a combo morph and didn't care which one I got. I got six eggs total with one female pewter. Well here is the results. So what do you think? Thanks Shawn

1 Pewter, 2 CPs, 1 Pin, 1 Fire & 1 normal. If that's the case she wasn't spittin' out many Pastel alleles was she? Still, that's a cool clutch. Congrats!!!

Yeah, they are some fat babies. The pewter female was the biggest one tipping the scale at 78g.

only 78? They look way fatter in the pix.

Great job & great mixed clutch!

Sweeeet. I am going to try multiple males this coming season.
How about spider,pastel,mojave x pastel.

Can you give some details? How many copulations with each male? ect.

Here are the dates that I observed lockups. There may very well have been more, but these are only the ones I caught.

Pinstripe- 10/30, 11/18, and 1/5
Cinnamon Pastel- 1/15, 1/25
Fire- 11/4

I think next year I may try again but mix it up a little.

I was curious to hear from everyone if they have ever heard of a ball clutch with 3 or more fathers reprsented in a clutch?

Thanks in advance!
