There is a difference in the normal baby because he/she has dark grey feet. The parents and baby rosy all have pink feet. In fact, I never noticed how pink the feet were of the normal parents. I wonder if those pink feet in the normals could be a sign that they have the rosy gene in them because usually a normal bourke has dark grey feet.mpballethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07218753176563777313noreply@blogger.com
