Greg T told me he was not sure exactly what they were. They do have the color and certain spot patterns of GBP so there is possibly some of that in them. I have two from Kelly Hull that are 3 - 4 months older and one of those is quite a bit smaller than my two Greg T babies. They are catching up to the bigger one pretty fast as well. They eat like little pigglets!Elohi said:Ok, he said she is babcocki x babcocki, which is what I assumed her to be.
Her skin is just different? She is also shaped differently. Less domed. She is more petite than Beans and Watson as well. She is 2 months older but smaller than they are. Everything about her is smaller, her legs are thinner, for instance.
But I believe Beans and Watson are also babcocki x babcocki as well. I'm pretty sure that's what Greg T said. Maybe he can clarify or someone who also has some of his babies can clarify.
Freckled skin or no, I'm biased and think they're the coolest torts in Texas [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
