>100% sharp & kahl het X 100% sharp & kahl het =

Expected results:
9/16 normal looking (66% probability het Sharp, 66% probability het Kahl)
3/16 Sharp albino (66% probability het Kahl albino)
3/16 Kahl albino (66% probability het Sharp albino)
1/16 Kahl albino, Sharp albino

As far as I know, nobody has actually done this cross. But I'm out in the boonies and could easily be wrong.

Another question is how easy it is to tell the difference between a Sharp and a Kahl albino and between a combination Kahl and Sharp albino and the individual albinos. I'm not familiar enough with the two albinos to be able to answer that. It is possible that the albinos might need to be lumped together, producing an expected result of 9/16 normal looking and 7/16 albino (Kahl, Sharp, and the combo). This sort of result has happened in crossing whites in birds and mammals. As always, observed results are likely to not be an exact match with the expected results.

Hope that helps.
