I'm looking at buying an albino and despite the fact that I am not currently breeding, I am planning on it in the future. So the question is... male or a female? I currently have a pair of normals, and was thinking that a female albino would kill two birds with one stone for me, as I could breed my normal male to both of my females. But then I got to thinking, I could buy a male -save the extra $- and buy another female, and then breed the male to both my females, and then cross the F1's either to eachother, or back to the dad.

I used to breed show silkies, and in silkies certain colors are carried -and passed on- better by the genders. say if you bred a blue male to a splash female your blues will be more vibrant than if you bred a splash male to a blue female. Is this true for Albinos? Would I be better off getting one rather than the other? or is it just personal preferance?

Any input is appreciated!
