I just have to show how one of Blackies offsprings (Black velvet, hyper melanistic) turns out after a few weeks. Blackie was hatched normal and turned darker after every single shedding. So does her daughter "Spirit" BVf1:

Pics from hatch day untill today, interesting development:

Very nice progression! What size is she now? I'll look forward to updates on this girl as she gets darker ;) Also, what kind of trait do you believe this to be? Line bred, recessive...?

I really hope she does keep getting darker for you...

Last year I had a few babies do the same thing, but they eventually lightened back up... They weren't from a dark beauty like yours though so I wish you the best!

Konrad thought it's a co-dom gene but he isn't sure ant longer. I'm going to do the first sister-brother pairings this winter to find out the genetics aout co-dom or not.
I've got a lot of colors, from line bred smow-white to this dirty looking grey/green.

This is some other brownish dirty looking olive green offsprings:
