Well, since a visual homozygous x het outcome is only a theoretical 50% visual homo offspring, it does happen now and then. It can happen fairly often the smaller a clutch is too if you think about it, even though the odds are the same. I would expect to see some out of eight eggs, but sometimes the number odds are far opposite of what one might expect. I would assume that after another similar-sized clutch is laid by these same parents, things would turn around and there would be some blonde's in it. After all, flipping a coin 10 times, it certainly doesn't always land on heads 5 times, even though it should theoretically. sometimes it is more, sometimes none, that is simply how it works once in a while.

Hope things go better the next time around......they would almost HAVE to!
