PLEASE home breeders! 

When you’re breeding your clowns remember that TROUPE STATUS is as important as sex when breeding! Clowns do not have a true ‘gender’ the way we consider it, but male and female sexed clowns have one of three mating positions in the troupe.

These positions are

BLANC/JOEY (Joey is the American term) (non-egg bearing)

AUGUSTE (egg bearing)

and

CONTRA-AUGUSTE (promotes hormone facilitation)

Do NOT listen to breeders who tell you that you can breed two auguste clowns or two joeys with a good result. Double august/double joey clown eggs are almost never viable! For best results you want an August and a Joey, preferably with a pair-accepted contra-august!
