Last year I had two clutches from het albino females bred to albino males laid on the same day, 9 eggs and 6 eggs. The 6 egg clutch was from a proven het. The other female is a het bred by myself. Her mother was a het also produced here that was only bred to albino males. There is no possibility of retained sperm from any other male. I cut all 15 eggs on the same day and got zero albinos. Like I said the 6 egg female has produced albinos before. I'm anxious to see this year what the 9 egg female produces. I don't see any way that she isn't a het, except for some kind of freak of nature.

As far as odds averaging out over time, I'm still waiting. I have hatched a lot of albinos over the years and never got 50% from het females and albino males. I have beat the odds on other things, so maybe it does average out in a way.
