Bantam Corns: Possible New Mutation

[deanaii]

Grandpa Rico and some of his grandkids ate. Rico is het Bantam, not homo. Can you ID the het Bantam among the babies?

[deanaii]

All those babies are homozygous Bantam except one, which is het.

Donut is the only one that looks to have any spine length. Must be the het.

[deanaii]

You are correct, Natalie! Donut is the het, or very, very low expression.

[lumpy]

Yeah…she look much longer then the rest of them….do you have a comparison of a non-het to her? Just so when you start the process of adding it to MM as an official gene there is more evidence for Morphmedia?

[deanaii]

Donut is the het Bantam, and he’s a boy. All the other babies in that series are homo Bantam. The pics aren’t bad for comparison because the babies are all in the same size small deli cups.

Nibble. Holdback Bantam Caramel Cinder Stripe het Sunissed male.

[caron]

Very pretty! Cheddar Bay just shed again!

[deanaii]

I look forward to pics!

[caron]

It seems like he is still sooo small but his bad boy demeanor makes him seem so large!

High to extreme expression Bantam Saffron male. Mozzarella. 20g. Eating peach fuzzies.

[caron]

Mozzarella is such a looker!

[deanaii]

Like a melting stick of margarine.

Fuzzies at 20g…he must have a CHUNK of a stomach (obviously). Always loved this guy. He’s an incredible roll of the genetic dice.

[deanaii]

PEACH fuzzies. Around 4g or a little more. But yeah, I don’t feed bantam babies any different from regular ones.

[caron]

I stepped up Cheddars meals! Soon he will be a Chonky Monky!

[deanaii]

Good! I look forward to pics.

This girl ate two pinks tonight. I may keep her as a backup female.

[caron]

Yup definitely keep her!

One of the non-feeders, Provolone, took his first no tricks meal!

[deanaii]

Yay! And now that he has a few grams on him, his high Bantam expression is really apparent. Dayum, he’s pretty.
