    Question Just a newb question

    i dont know if i got all this genetic stuff down here right....
    ok.. lets say i had a male albino, 66% het for pied, and bred it to my female 50% het albino, 66% het for pied. If she lays 6 eggs what would be my chances to get at least one of each different morph?

    Here is what i got...

    91% Het Albino
    91% Double Het Albino Pied
    51% Albino x Het Pied
    51% Albino
    41% Pied x Het Albino
    16% Albino x Pied

    Is this right?

    Re: Just a newb question

    no cause that = 341%

    I'll get it wrong too assuming that that both your poss hets prove out it would be the same as breeding two 100% DH together. So you would get

    Het. Albino, Het. pied,
    x
    Het. Albino, Het. pied,

    6.25% Normal
    12.5% Het. pied,
    6.25% Homozygous pied,
    12.5% Het. Albino,
    25% Het. Albino, Het. pied,
    12.5% Het. Albino, Homozygous pied,
    6.25% Homozygous Albino,
    12.5% Homozygous Albino, Het. pied,
    6.25% Homozygous Albino, Homozygous pied,

    hope this helps

    Even with an albino het for pied or pied het for albino pair breeding you only have a 1:16 chance of getting an albino pied. Its not impossible just hard to hit.

    Slim to none, but it'd be a lot of fun watching those eggs hatch!

    Re: Just a newb question

    If I were in this position I would try to prove out that my possible albino was actually truely a het, and same with the pied genes. That way you can have a little better idea of what you are definately working with. Cuz all the hopes in the world wont do any good if one of the hets doesnt have that gene.

    I said what are the chances of getting at least 1 of 6, so it doesnt matter that they equal more than 100%
    for each egg it should be as follows.

    33% Het Albino
    33% Double Het
    11% Albino
    11% Albino x Het Pied
    8% Pied x Het Albino
    3% Albino x Pied
