Bantam Corns: Possible New Mutation

[caron]

I’m totally ready for the pippin unveiling!

[emfraise]

So what I’m hearing is we might get another baby like Chispa?

[deanaii]

It’s possible, though her pattern regularity is unusual for this family, especially for SK morphs with a Cinder het. I wouid actually be surprised to see one like her with as high expression of Bantam too. But the odds are the same!

And @deanaii We can NEVER have too many Chizpas!!

[caryl]

Ooh, those look ready to pip any minute!!

[deanaii]

I really expected when I woke up this morning that there would be a pip. I was very angry at the clutch for disappointing me.

Haha, bad babies! Bad babies! You get busy pipping!

Next you might be calling them “jerks” for not eating! Bad Dean Bad Dean!

[caryl]

So, are they still bad babies hiding out in those eggs?

[deanaii]

Yep! Not a single pip! Gotta be tonight. A few of the eggs are very deflated, and humidity is perfect in there, so they’re not drying up. Today is Day 71 or 72. Mostly at 80F.

I also have a mini-clutch of 3 from my Miami Tessera pair that was laid at the same time. I screwed up the timing of the pairing, so the clutch was mostly slugs.

[caryl]

Maybe tomorrow you’ll get all the pippies popping at once!

@deanaii

Gotta be tonight

Here’s to a pippin poppin party tonight!!!

[deanaii]

Third meals for many in the clutch, including the runty twin and the micro-runt.

Yay for members of The Clean Plate Club! This is all very exciting news Dean!

I was just rereading the beginning of this post. And now I have Mr CBB and soon his sweet little half brother MGA! Have we ever been through a lot!

[deanaii]

My friend Hugo sent me nice pics of some that I sent him in Europe. So they’re international too now.

[caron]

That was definitely money well spent on their part too! Soon they will be worldwide! Cheddar Bay Biscuit has some relatives across the pond! I love it!

[snakesofshadowlake]

Still no pips? I’m taking it as a sign that they’re growing so well, they’ll be ready to eat well on their first meal!

[deanaii]

Nope. I hope that’s what it means! But I do have a pip in my Low Belly Miami Tessera x Miami Tessera mini-clutch that was laid no more than a day before

Off-topic for the post, but:
