Sterling Patternless, Version 2

maizeysdad May 12, 2012 11:23 PM

Born on 5/12/12. No yolk, no preemies, no defects. Roughly 50% of the litter are Sterlings, the rest are Het. This is almost certainly a simple recessive mutation. Looking forward to spreading this gene around after we shed out and have a few meals.
