100% het albino male

joshiesk8 May 12, 2006 11:52 PM

OK, I have a het albino male but all normal females. I'd like to do something with him this year, but I don't think I could sell 50% het albinos because no one knows me from Adam. I'd like to get an albino female, but it would take 3 years to get her up to breeding size. What would you do? take the chance to breed him to a normal?

I would be on the hunt for a 100% adult female. Hopefully from a reputable person. Shop around maybe someone will be parting with one sence breeding season is ending. They may be moving an albino in and the het. out. Post a wanted add. That way you could spend the same (or maybe more depending on size) as an albino female but first breeding would produce albinos. Good luck and happy hunting.

"take the chance to breed him to a normal?"

I guess this is the part I don't get. what chance??

I have a het albino male I will be breeding next year to two normals, I'm going to keep all the females, and sell the males. No one knows me from adem either, but I'm not going to be asking much for them, just what a normal cbb male ball would go for.

Now if your in a rush, or want to make some cash, try to get an 05' het albino female, she could go next year for you and you might get an albino or two.

Either way, good luck
