kohaku babies

Mike,

re: your question on kohaku babies. when they are nose hair size they are yellow. they get up around an inch or so and they are varying shades

of orange. at this stage you can make the all white ones go away. the all orange ones may suprise you by forming a pattern at a later date. on the last cull, you'll be looking for some neat patterns you saw earlier and they've changed and are not the same! now you have a select few that have white noses and good patterns and then you can select from them , those which show quality. whew! don't leave a whole lot!
