Hi Robyn
We see that here too Beside the normal colored ones there are a few juveniles that are either very light in their ground color or reddish as shown on the picture. So far I haven`t had any keeping their outstanding red coloration as they grow up.
Now and then I also get a juvenile with a black circular spot in some of the diamants. This year there is one with a black spot in more than the upper half of the diamants. It is very pretty.
So far there is 3,4 hatched and 2 more is pipping.
3 eggs died during incubation (too high temperature) and there is still one clutch comming within a week.
Best wishes
Søe
