Hi,
I have a beautiful albino female corn. My friend has a Crimson male. My questoin is what would the offspring be? Normals double het for Albino and Crimson? Or is Crimson a form of albino? I'm kind of confused.

thanks in advance,

dan

You are close.... it would be normal het albino and hypo. Unless one is het for the other (which is likely)

Would the babies be better color normals or just plain normals?

Hard to say.... Crimson is miami and hypo so you have the line bred "miami" look going for you. Unfortunately it is not a recessive trait. So basically you will just have to wait and see.
