average clutch size for creamsicles

[rynwilliams]

What is the average clutch size for a creamsicle corn. I know that emoir only has aclutch size of 4-6 eggs as it is a cross does it have a larger clutch size?

Cannot speak from direct breeding experience, but it is my understanding that creamsicles range between corns and Great Plains rats in clutch size as well as egg size and hatchling size (both larger than pure corns). While corns may average 20 eggs per clutch, Great plains may get that high but are more often around 6-10 and creamsicles are inbetween - but lots of individual variation. Need to keep in mind that many creamsicles have a higher percentage of corn than great plains rat in their makeup as well - many have been bred back to the amel corns to get color and pattern fixed, so really hard to generalize.
