The older this boy gets, the more I think it's a hypo. I have a sibling, so I'll know for sure next year.

Very nice.........

I think a more accurate test to prove for hypo would be to breed it to something unrelated het for hypo. That way you would get normals and hypos (if he's hypo) that should be easy to separate at first shed. Breeding sibling Motleys may be confusing if your trying to prove for the simple recessive hypo gene. Hypo plays a funny game when mixed with Motley, there may be a hypo like linked gene that is not so easy to seperate. I've got a similar clutch hatching now with Motley siblings as parents. The male looks hypo but the female, well, not really. I've got dark babies and light babies. It's hard to tell but the lighter ones do appear hypo. I'll get a pic once they are all out and shed.
