An interesting theory. You ought to test it. Here's how: Take one six-sided die. Roll it four times -- one roll for each egg in a four-egg clutch.

1 = albino (two albino genes)

2 = heterozygous albino (albino gene from the father and normal gene from the mother)

3 = heterozygous albino (normal gene from the father and albino gene from the mother)

4 = normal (two normal genes)

5 = no meaning, roll again until the result is in the 1-4 range

6 = no meaning, roll again until the result is in the 1-4 range

If the die is balanced on an edge when it stops, the egg contains a dead embryo of unknown genotype.



Repeat for 50-100 cluches, and report the results here.
