2012 Okeetee

[turkeytim]

A really light version Okeetee the other 2 from this clutch have colored up. I just dont see her getting orange.

 

[Nanci]

That's very strange. Do you have photos of the parents? She's pretty- but she looks like a Miami, with a little yellow on the first couple mots!

 

[Chip]

Nope, I don't see that one getting orange either. She's the anti-Okeetee. Pretty though!

 

[turkeytim]

no pics of the parents purchased 3 and one ended up orange and the other 2 were significantly lighter heres her sister

 

[turkeytim]

I am trying to locate pics of the other sister. I sold her to a friend who turned around and sold her to another friend.

Okeetee is sometimes used to describe any corn that isn't carrying a visual mutation, unfortunately. I have produced hundreds of locality Okeetees as well as "Fauxatees," and have never had one missing the colors and borders hatch out of a clutch of them.

 

[Nanci]

That sister almost looks like something other than normal, like she has some sort of hypo going on. She's very pretty. She has an especially cool head marking.

 

[turkeytim]

I agree Nanci I am going to hang onto these to and see what surprises may come up.

 

[Chip]

They almost look rootbeer-y.

 

[turkeytim]

they really look different in person almost like they are always in blue except for the banding that stands out til they go blue then they look whiter

 

[turkeytim]

heres the other sister

Did you buy them as locality okeetees or as okeetee phase? Were the parents supposed to be Love okeetees or any of the other known line-bred types?

 

[turkeytim]

All were purchased as okeetees as hatchlins at the time they all looked like okeetees

 

[diamondlil]

All were purchased as okeetees as hatchlins at the time they all looked like okeetees

What I mean is.......all okeetees aren't the same. I've got an 'okeetee phase' and a genuine Love okeetee, they are world's apart in how they turned out

 

[Nanci]

Hm. I also like the Okeetee phase. That looks like the origins of nice buckskin Okeetees.
