>>Hey Jimmy, you have some of nicest creamsickles around IMO and they are very much "Creamsickly" in coloration for lack of a better term LOL!! Do you make it a point to keep them 50/50 in the emoryi/corn mix? They do not appear to be diluted with corn and look like the creamsickles I remember back in the 90s. Very nice indeed.
I bought my stripe cream pair in '02 and I'm not 100% sure but I think they were 50/50...They are my only stripe cream breeder pair. I have one hold-over female from last season that I plan to use in time but every season people talk me into letting go of my keepers so I can't ever keep any back...lol.
My main breeding pair of motley creamsicles were fathed by my male stripe cream mentioned above paired with a female creamsicle het motley that is 50/50..so the motley creams aren't diluted beyond 50/50 either.
The clutch of creams, rootbeers and cinnamons, pictured above, is from a cinnamon female that is 37.5% emoryi paired with a 50/50 meahlmorum/corn.
I do have one pairing where I go back to corn. I have a male cinnamon that is 50/50 that I breed to a female snow corn. She is het hypo so I get some cinnamons each season from her. that is the only pure corn involved in any of my emoryi/corn cross breedings.
I have plans to introduce more emoryi into a couple of my lines next season.
I plan to breed my stripe cream male to one of my female emoryis and one of my emoryi males to a either a motley cream or a cinnamon...haven't decided yet.
I hope I made some kind of sense..I read back over that and I think I may actually have brain damage....lol
