    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Pewter or Sterling? Opinions please. Pics...

I'm not quite sure if these are Pewters or Sterlings. They are from Pewter het Pied X Pastel het Pied and they are super light compared to other Pewters and Pewter het Pieds we've produced before. This would make about 7 or 8 Pewter het Pied clutches for us in the last 4 years...given these are only 66% pos. het and it's pretty obvious the numbers are right with this clutch. Any opinions on whether these are sterlings or pewters?

I would put money on the cinny being the non het and the other two being the 100% hets....even though they can't be labeled as such. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

If I say Pewter, will you sell me one for the price of a pewter? If not then I'd say no doubt it's a sterling. Congrats on those stunning animals.

Haha! Sorry guys. I've never hatched any Sterlings and I've never seen any this odd. Not to brag, but these are definitely some of the best looking I've laid eyes on....if not the best. So far the opinion seems to be Sterling. Pretty good odds from a 3 egg clutch.....the same female and clutch size that gave me the first Pewter Pied last year.

Thanks again to all of you!
