This is the "theory" I spoke of above. This would render the punnet square useless. But this has never been seen in balls. Your example was a non existent one. No one to date has had a visual albino that, as you said, was actually only a het. It simply has not happened. And while I agree with you that the punnet square represents a per egg chance, it cannot be denied that it also can be used, with somewhat reliability, to determine a clutchs statistical numbers prior to hatching. And using this, which 99.9% of breeders do, my clutch here was one of those that has defied the odds if not onto something different altogether. I don't think anyone here is willing to by the Chimera bit, especially with such a complete lack of evidence.
