Babies

I went in this afternoon to check on Steel and I found a baby on the wire.  The baby did not make it. Later on when I went to check the babies in the nest box I was expecting to have only 3, but to my great surprise I still had 4!  Steel had a fifth baby outside the nest box.  The other shocking thing was that this lost baby was a fourth broken.  Normally when you breed a broken to a solid you will get half solid and half broken.  This litter was very lopsided with 4 broken and a lone solid. 

I can tell the colors a lot better today.  We have 2 broken blacks, a broken blue and a black.
