So now I'm thinking about Icelandic genetics as outlined by Gallesfarm on the other sheep thread.... (sort of thinking out loud but please comment if you think I'm right/wrong)

Clover is (I think) heterozygous for black/moorit, solid or grey(?) and carries spotting.
Thunder is moorit, solid (?) and carries spotting.

Clover had Bramble, who appears solid moorit, would be expected if Clover is hetero for moorit, because Bramble also would have moorit from her father.

The boy lamb, who might be named Sven (Kelly is still deciding) appears black, not brown, so that means he had to get the black gene from one parent, and it can't be Thunder (bcs he's moorit homozygous) so that means Clover has to be hetero for black also. This confirms that Clover's two base color genes are black and moorit.

The real question is about the grey. The little ram lamb's nose is pictured below. Now, if he's got some white there, which it appears to me that he does, it could be a sign of the "grey" trait. If so, I am not sure if that came from Clover or Thunder. Neither lamb has any sign of mouflon or badgerface, so I think I'm safe assuming that Clover carries neither. They grey is a bit tricky to me, because I've seen pictures of lambs that are described as black greys that look like black spotted to me. Urgh.
