Reverse Okeetee Question

bigbearhook Apr 29, 2009 09:14 AM

Up till recently, I assumed that Reverse Okeetees were Amel Okeetees. Then recently, I read somewhere that they weren't actual Okeetees, just bred to look that way. I guess my question is,

If I breed a Reverse Okeetee to a normal or anything else for that matter, will the babies look typical Okeetee. I know they'll be het Amel, but what about the okeetee side.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Reverse okeetee is an amel with wide white borders that make it look like a "reverse okeetee"
They are simply selective bred amels.
if you bred a reverse okeetee to a normal you would get normals het amel. It's possible that a couple of them could have the okeetee look but it would depend on the normal that you would be breeding to the reverse okeetee and the background of the reverse okeetee.

today okeetee is a color morph not a locality...
can be locality...but they are usually cqlled Haphazrd Road or Jasper county corns...

..as said...reverse okee and fluorescents have red saddles ,orange backgrounds and white borders around the saddles...usually...

people call corns all kinds of stuff to sell them...and reverse okees are not always that....I make really nice ones...I sell them as amel....period....but over the years a corn is a corn to me...all the same ....

......there was a screamer pic in here a week ago or so....
