You are correct. Each egg has a 25% chance of producing an albino. The statistics are based on each egg and not the clutch.

However, as a breeder don't you want more eggs? more chances of producing an albino?

If a breeder sells a pair of hets and the buyer fails to produce an albino with a small clutch, say 12 eggs, the buyer is going to feel like he got ripped off.
It seems that the standard answer from many breeders is "you just missed the odds. Try again next yesr."

Over the years, my breedings of het x het and visual x het have yielded the same percentage chance that each egg has for the entire clutch. Not always in the first breeding but over a couple of clutches. The het x het and visual x het have given me approx. 25% or 50% of clutch as the visual morph.
