Thanks for the responses. In retrospect I shouldn't have said disprove. Suppose the only way to disprove would be genetic testing. Should have said how many before you really give up on them being hets

So far in my experience whenever I've done homozygous to het I've gotten clutches of 4-6 eggs and have always gotten at least two visuals (knock on wood) so it'll be hard for me not to give up on these poss hets that laid 5 and 6 eggs respectively if they don't show visuals. And if the supposed 100% het doesn't have a visual in the 9 egg clutch she laid when bred to the homozygous a note will be going on the BOI...
