Male/Female Makers...Only Bananas??
The reason I ask is because this past season I bred a Pied male x a 66% Het Pied female. Resulting in a 4 egg clutch. I hatched 3 Pied and 1 Het Pied. Great odds already, and they also are all FEMALE:D. Both were virgins so I have nothing to go by as far as the parents. I did produce 2 other clutches (not pied) and had a good male/female ratio.
I'm breeding the Pied male to a few different females this season, so I'll have to wait and see if it's him or not.
Are there known male/female makers in other morphs other than Bananas? Or did I just have extremely good luck?
Re: Male/Female Makers...Only Bananas??
I hatched all female clutches and all male clutches in the past with even more eggs, it's just luck or lack there off.
Remember you have 50% chance to hatch one or the other (odds per egg)
You would need to produce several clutches with a fair amount off eggs to conclude that your animal produces only a certain gender.

That's my plan:D

It's not sex linked, it is anomaly that doesn't have a name, as this is the first case of it happening in biology.
To the OP the chances of a 4 egg clutch being all female are 1 in 16, it happens quite a bit actually, I had a 6 egg clutch all males last year and it wasn't a clutch I wanted all males lol.
