I have been wondering what is going on in a couple of my Lavender Groups for a couple of years now. I knew I didn’t have the hypo gene in the mix, but something very similar to a Hypo Lav would pop up every now and then. Here are a few photos of the some odd ball Lav Motleys that I started calling “Sunset” Motleys. These photos were taken when they were very small and look similar to the one that Rob just hatched out, but Robs seems to be more purple and something else seems different, but I can't put my finger on it.
Today, the male doesn’t look as dramatically different as he did when he was a hatchling. I have been watching the lavender color come in gradually over the years, and now he looks similar to a high pink Lav Motley.
