The odds of them all turning out normal are 0.0056377101 or about 1 in 175 chance (if my calculations are right).

It is true that each egg has a 1 in 4 chance of being albino, but this holds true for the clutch rate as well. As someone mentioned there is a bell curve, and the greater number of eggs that hatch, the closer to the 1 in 4 albino clutch rate is observed. Simple statistics dictate that the greater the N value the closer the actual outcome gets to the theoretical outcome.
