Well I just pulled out one and took a look at the belly. Duh! These came out of my Upper Keys stock, so if you know what the bellies look like on those guys, then you know what these look like. Somewhat indistinct blotching, somewhat like what you see on a quasi blood red. I took a couple of photos of some younger ones, but those pics are still in the camera waiting to be downloaded to the computer. I'll post them when I get them off the camera. No belly shots, however.
As for offering any for sale this year, I guess it depends on how many I get. I'm still trying to figure out what the heck I am going to do with all of those babies where I bred these guys into Charcoal Ghosts and Silver Queens. Certainly the next generation from those, if this does prove out to be a new gene, will be giving people nightmares for quite a long time.
Well, I'm keying in my egg cards now, so I'll have a better idea of what I am actually going to be producing in a few more days. Fertility is running at roughly 89 percent, so it doesn't look too bad this year. Of course, I didn't make up cards on those few clutches that were complete losers, so the real figure is going to be a bit lower.
