0.1 Butter X 1.0 Butter strip X 1.0 Diffused

[BabyBlueEyes]

This clutch has just finnished hatching! I have 11 healthy beauftiul Hatchlings! This project was for our own little expirement! We Breed our female butter with a diffused and breed her again the later that week with a butter stripe. She laid 11 all fertile eggs. We got just what we perdicted! Normals from the diffused father that het amel and caramel and butters from the butter stripe father that are het for stripe! Although she was breed with the diffused first we had more butters hatch rather than more normals? I really dont know what caused that in regards to the ratio in the 2 morph but we are happy with the results! :dancer:

I will post pics later today after work!

Neat, good thing you chose such different males. Made it very easy for you to know which were fathered by which. But one question, what if they had all been butters? How would you know your diffused was not het butter?

Good question! If that were to happen then i would have
Caramel het Amel, Diffused
Amel het Diffused, Caramel
Normal het Amel, Diffused, Caramel
Butters het Diffused

but......
We got normals het diffused, amel, and caramel (babies who were fathered by the diffused and Butters het stripe (Babies who are fathered by the butter stripe)

Off topic but one of the normal hatchlings has one of the craziest head pattern i have ever seen! It's literally the mask from the movie scream!!!!!! He's definitely a keeper!

And i promise i will post pictures as soon as i get a chance!!

I'm confused by the question and response here. The diffused male IS het butter. The amel offspring he fathered shows he's het amel and the caramel offspring he fathered shows he's het caramel.

If all the hatchlings had been butters, you would not have known whether your diffused male was het butter or whether your diffused male was not het butter but didn't father any of the offspring.

Because your diffused male IS het butter, you don't actually know that all the butters were fathered by the butter stripe. Therefore, you have no idea whether the butters are het diffused or het stripe.

Ohhhhh. I see. I misread your initial post. This missing "are" led me me to think you got an amel and a caramel.

I see now that you didn't but have phenotypic normals and butters only. My bad. Sorry about that.

But it is still true that if you'd had all butters you couldn't know that your diffused male wasn't het butter. It would be unlikely, but how unlikely couldn't even be calculated unless you knew how many eggs he'd fathered (or not), which you wouldn't know.

Sorry for the confusion!

Haha it's ok desertanimal! I'm glad you corrected yourself! My male diffused was sold to me as a diffused with no proven hets so ya it would be impossible!

Pics are going to come tonight! around 8pm pacific time! :crazy02:

 

[BabyBlueEyes]

They aren't the best quality pictures and for some reason they just wouldn't stay still!!
