chicas I was telling you about...

Hypos 66% Het Snow...let me know what you think...did they get lighter?

It's kinda hard to capture the color on camera VS in person...but I think you get the general idea...they are just a little more purple that when they hatched.

#1 She's got a perfect vanishing kinda pattern:

#2 This one is a bit larger, 27g, tipped up and aberrant:

Oh, and who else is still waiting on eggs to hatch?

Denting started 3 days ago...maybe pippers by next weekend.

Very cool Rusty!.....yeah, they do have a sort of "Indigo" bluish hue to them now..LOL!

Look real forward to seeing what pops out of the clutch too bud!..

What are hypo's crossed with snows called?

hypo x snow are triple homozygous(displaying the three traits), and known as "pearls" aka "opals".

However, they can only be reliably distinguished from knowing the true genetics of the parents and what they actually produce in a given clutch. Rusty Green and Don Shores have produced them, and one of Don's had the additional extreme hypo gene for an additional kicker bonus as well.

Here is a pic of Rusty's triple homozygous pearl/opal
