The premise, then, would be that she is either het albino or albino. And the odds of *an egg* having a 50% chance of being a het and a 50% of being an albino talleys out to 50 out of 100 eggs containing albino and 50 out of 100 containing hets. That is how you come to the 50%. But when 5 eggs contain 5 albinos and 1 egg contains a het, out of a 5 egg clutch, odds were certainly defied, if not downright squashed. Your 50% chance per egg still translates to 50% of eggs produced being half homozygous and half het. I may just breed her to an albino again next year, just to see how the odds fall again.
