Thanks Mike,
I hope you get a huge clutch of fertile eggs. I have been wondering how anybody would pick out a Bloodred Motley from a clutch of hets, just like it would be hard to pick out a Striped Bloodred, because so much is riding on the belly pattern, but that is part of the fun of this great hobby, discovering the unknowns.
Hopefully, there will be some differences in a double homo that is evident, without the need for test breeding, or there wouldn’t seem to be much point. The traditional Bloodred Color in Striped or Motley phase would have an awesome effect! It would be cool if somehow the two patterns (Motley and Bloodred) mixed in someway, instead of one masking the other. It is early, but the striped pattern seems to mask the bloodred pattern, from what I have seen in your Striped Bloodred. You never really know with the bloodred trait, because it may have more influence when they get older.
I have to admit that a lot of male corns have more pink than most females, so I wouldn’t say that I don’t subscribe to that theory exactly. Most of my high pink corns are males. It is just those females that come along ever once in a while that rival the males. From what I have heard, the male Anery A Bloods are much more pink than the females so far. The evidence is mounting year after year, that suggest most males are pinker than most females. This pink coloration we are finding hidden underneath all of the other layers will be a very exciting mystery to unravel.
Pink metallic or metallic pink sounds hot!
