Vivtastic, the pink seems to be getting better. they have only shed twice at the mo but it gets a liitle better each time. im hoping they keep it into adulthood but at this point nobody knows as this is the first time two c/a have been bred to each other that have the kahl gene. my guess is that they will stay pink as normal c/a boad tend to have a deeper colour to them and this is why some c/a morphs can tend do look dark and drab compared to their columbian cousins. but i think that this deeper colour lends itsself well to abianism, and that is where the pink colouration is comming from.
