Color development pics of normal corns
Amazing to me how these guys change over just a few months - had time on my hands yesterday to take a few shots of some of our normal corns and am amazed how much they have changed. These are from a rather bland looking striped normal female that laid a suprise clutch shortly after we purchased her - so just normal corn babies. They have almost no black around the saddles but are developing the dark lines along their backs typically of sooty color in wild corns so I expect they will be rather unremarkable in color as adults - but it is interesting to follow their development.

I agree that normals have their own charm.
Simon - have no idea what the father was, but whole clutch was normal. I am only interested in the fact that the mom is a striped, so all are het striped. If I keep them to maturity I will incorporate them as an outcross line to get striped genes in my creamsicles - lack of a black border on saddles should translate to minimal white borders in the creamsicles which I already have and don't want to lose by breeding out to any of the lines with thick borders. If only I could keep enough corns to do all the things I want with the genetics - but then I would have as many as you do!

I had no idea that they came out so dark at first! I guess you can't get too excited about any odd colours you may find in hatchlings because they won't look even close to the same just 2 months later. Weird!
