Here is the analogy I always use to explain homo to het breedings. Each egg has a 50/50 chance of being hypo or being het, exactly the same as heads or tails when a coin is flipped. If you flip a coin ten times the result will probably be even, or almost. Could you flip a coin and have it come up heads ten times in a row? That would be unlikely, unusual, improbable, but not impossible.

Or think of what Tracey Barker said to someone who bred an albino male ball to a het female and didn't get any albinos. He was suggesting the female wasn't a het. She said it was het, guaranteed, no ifs, ands, or buts. Yes, he only got visual normals. What if it had gone the opposite way and he only got albinos? The odds of it happening are the same. Would he be saying the female wasn't just a het, it is too improbable to get all albinos?

Okay, I'm running on and on, you probably understood without my post. Andy
