Posted by: RandyRemington at Fri Mar 9 20:04:58 2012 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by RandyRemington ] Given your information that your het pied female that only produced 1 in 30 pieds was with different proven males I'm now wondering if she could also be a chimera (just a merger of two normal looking siblings so not as obvious as the paradox merger of dissimilar morphs). The thing is I can't explain how she could be from an expected 100% het clutch and have a sibling to be combined with that isn't a het at all. Does she have good markers? Maybe she was from a possible het clutch and the breeder felt confident enough in the markers to sell her as a 100% het. And looks like the breeder was right as far as the part he can see but what if one of her ovaries is from a non het sibling and maybe for some reason that ovary is even more active (or even if they are both equal only hitting 1 in 15 from the het ovary is not as bad a luck as hitting only 1 in 30 if both ovaries are het)? So basically chimera’s could be an explanation for both paradox and normal looking “weak” hets that consistently produce at much lower rates than expected. [ Hide Replies ]
