Horrible luck! 11 eggs from 2 parents and only one morph each clutch

first breeding season is a bunk =[ had 5 pairs including a mojo to mojo pair. only 2 normals lay and i only got a cinny and pinstripe =[

Yup - that happened to me my first season. Two lemon pastel clutches. One clutch was six eggs - two lemons and four normals. The other clutch was four eggs - all normals.

Took two years, but the odds gods finally swung my way (last year was also a bad odds year for me).

8 eggs...7 normals and only one pastel ;)

10 eggs het/clown x het/clown= 1 clown and 9 poss hets. at least i proved them out and the clown is smoking

be happy that they hatched and are healthy......i lost several "important" clutches this year.

.........something is always better than nothing in my book.

first and only clutch 5 eggs.. four normals, one pinstripe and the pinstripe died. Sorry for your odds, be happy they are all healthy. It could have been worse.. they could have been all duds!!

lol don't feel bad my first year planning to breed, tried for 3 clutchs clutch 1 all slugs would been all 100% het alninos if I was lucky)
clutch 2 was butter/pastel to a anormal 6 eggs 2 pastels 4 normals
clutch 3 het pied to het pied 6 eggs 1 low white pied and 5 possible hets.( if I was right popping ( first time doing that )I got a pied male 4 possible females and 1 possible male) and still nor sure on this lol.
and in the three weeks so far none of the little sob will eat yet.

thats ruff dude, its very discouraging. but dont give up, thats a bad season for sure. but keep rolling, next year you'll do alot better :]

Yeah, that sucks. But its part of the game. I was actually looking back on this, and I've had good years where I had incredible odds, others where I didn't. What I noticed is that if I averaged it out over several years, pretty much all of the odds lined up with what they were supposed to be.

Just be thankful that you got a healthy clutch, and that nothing went wrong with your females, and they'll be around another year to breed. There's always next year and in this hobby you have to take the good with bad. Good luck with them!
