Can someone post a pic of a striped okeetee. Just wondering if they looked any different than striped normals.

Since striping and motley mechanisms in corns tend to reduce if not eliminate black, the only thing left in Striped Okeetees would be the deep and rich colors without black. Many Striped corns fit that color description. Also, striped corns are rarely "stippled" or "speckled". Hence, they exhibit the solid colors we see in good Okeetees even when Okeetee is not in their family tree. Colors that lack that "dirty" look of white or black or brown speckling in the markings and/or ground colors.

Thats what i figured but, it never hurts to ask. BTW why is it that the motley/stripe mutations reduce black? Does the mutation inherantly carry the hypo gene?
