sex ratio question...how uncommom is my ratio of (8.14)?

Do you usually get female heavy more times than not??

I know as far as survival in the wild, female heavy is a good thing. But isn't really a coin toss, where larger samples should reach 50/50.

I know my sample is minute, so lets not get into a Stat 101 discussion.

Also there was no slugs or premies.

We had an Albino litter that is all males I still can't believe it and then our next litter was a sunglow litter and there were 10 males and 1 female and we lost the female shortly after birth this year we have been blessed with mostly male which is not bad for the Albino's we produced but bad for the hets we had I am very happy that we had baby's at all I just could have used a little balance in the ratio good luck to all Scott Mid Atlantic Morphs
