I don't think your math is correct actually but close, I believe it should be 0.000488%, looks like you did 12 coin flips, but either way it is very unlikely for you to get 11 female pins, what was the total number of offspring of the four clutches and what was the male/female of the normals, so you didn't have any bad eggs but maybe some males didn't even make it to the point of being a laid eggs, maybe there is some likage or lethality to sex with your particular pins genes, while we simplify all these visual morph genes in terms of simple mendelian genetics in reality the genetics may not always be that simple. Maybe it just has to do with the sperm that individual male produced, thats why it would be interesting if you had high females in the normals too. This could be a possibility since I believe boidae are generally know to be heterogametic in females (ZW) and homogametic (ZZ) in males, so maybe he produced more (W) sperm for whatever reason. Just ideas I'm not saying they are right. ----- Jeff Benfer
