Christmas Came Early

Not a Bad Way to end my season. 0.1 Sterling Yellow Belly, 0.1 Pewter Yellow Belly, 0.1 Pastel Yellow Belly, 0.1 Yellow Belly, and 1.1 Pastels. I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas!

Very nice way to end the year! I recently hatched out a similar clutch from a Super Pastel Yellow Belly to a Pewter breeding. The clutch had a Sterling (possible YB) and two Pewters (possible Yellow Belly) along with a Pastel Yellow Belly (I can tell those LOL) so how can you tell that the Sterling and the Pewter are Yellow Belly’s? I thought maybe you used a Pastel Ivory as one of the parents so you knew for sure but you list two Pastel’s in the clutch so that is not possible. Any advice would be appreciated. Once again nice clutch and they all look great.

I also wondered the same thing. I saw the two pastels listed and knew there wasn't an Ivory parent.

thanks guys! I was pretty pumped to see them in the egg. I questioned them as well. when the sterling hatched, she was white with a faint silver outline and yellow running down the face. I found the yellow belly lightens the cinnamon gene where as the yellow belly increases the orange in the black pewters and silver streaks. Albey, I saw yours on another forum. do you have hatchling pics? I did a lot of side by side comparisons to other sterlings and then to silver streaks. I also had a few other guys take a look at some shows up here. I will try and get better photos up. Have a Merry Christmas!
