Breeding Two Different albinos

seboba17 Mar 08, 2006 08:50 AM

I currently have some eggs that are het for las vegas and tremper albino. Does anyone know what would happen if I bred these babies to one another? Is it possible for two albino trains to show themselves. They are different genes, right? Anyone ever tried this?

I have no idea, I just picked 1 strain to work with. I would think that both types should show as long as there is not a linkage problem with the genes involved, like in tremper albinos and the murphy patternless.

Also how different would a double albino look from just a single? And with the natural variation in the trait would you be able to tell the difference between the doubles and singles? Let alone the two different singles. The worst part would be waiting for the 1:16 chance two eggs at a time, and then knowing when it happened.

Let us know what happens and please try to post some picks.

you would probably get some regular hets and also maybe some albinos of both strains.
