Albino Odds

mikebell Nov 12, 2008 12:24 PM

Sometimes the odds are in your favor, sometimes they aren't. Today they were in my favor. I had a clutch earlier that was 10 of 13 albinos, from a het female to an albino male. The only downside was 7 males. This clutch was also het female and albino male, 9 out of 9 are albinos. Maybe I'll get more females this time.

So your finally making up for the bad odds in years past. That good to hear.

That beats my personal best of 6 out of 7 albinos. Can you imagine being the one to get no visuals though? :0

I had a clutch last year that was 0 for 9, I produced the female, I knew she was het. This year she produced albinos. I've had a couple clutches this year 0 for 5.

Congrats on the albinos!

I hatched 5 out of 5 albinos
my first albino clutch ever so I was very pleased and it was a long road to get to them. I did have one egg that didn't make it so not sure it was a clean sweep.

I was high on the male side as well 4 males 1 female.

male albino to female 100% het

but your numbers are even better congratz!!

My first albino clutch was 4 out of 4, with one egg that went bad. Way back then an albino was still a big deal.

I think I remember that clutch. Congrats on those odds.
