Second, the female could have retained sperm from a previous pairing.
Was this the first breeding for the female? If not, what was she bred with before the sire to your babies?
Do you have pics of the parents?

I don't have pics of the parents, but I did see them, & they're both BR. I don't know this breeder well, but he has a pretty good reputation locally. I would be inclined to believe him that the parents were in fact BR as he said.
I got them second hand, from someone else, but I was with her when she picked out the babies.
The retained sperm could be the answer. I will have to ask him if/who she was paired with before. I don't think he even had any normals in his breeding stock. I'll have to double check.
The clutch consisted of babies that either looked like mine, & some obvious BR's.
Thanks Nate!
