    Thanks all!

    It's a little girl.

    Father was an RDR 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het stripe. Mother was a 50% chance het stripe. Of course both are now proven on the albino side. Still a little hope my 25% chance het stripe girl the same male locked up with will go to maybe test that side.

    That's actually the 2nd time I've hit on such a pairing. In 2003 I bred a 66% chance het albino + 50% chance Jolliff axanthic male to a different 50% chance het albino female (happened to be a sister of this mom) and had two kinked up albinos in the only two good eggs.

    I also have 3 eggs from the same possible double het stripe albino male and another 50% chance het female (a 3rd sister, a fourth failed to prove and was sold) with a couple days to go but if they hit guess it doesn't count as a threepete since he is no longer a possible het.

    And I have 7 eggs to hatch late July from a 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het VPI axanthic male to a 25% chance het albino female.

    Maybe next year I'll get eggs from my 66% chance het albino + 66% chance het piebald male.

    See a pattern here? Some people hate the uncertainty of possible hets. Now that for sure hets are cheap most can avoid the extra risk of possible hets but when I started they where my only option. I really haven’t been particularly lucky either. On average two out of three 66% chance hets would be het anyway and so far I’ve proved two with two yet to test. Also, of my four 50% chance het albino girls I’ve proved two so far also as expected. Of course I’m hoping to break the odds with a 3rd of each and hopefully even the 4th 66% chance het male.

    Awesome luck Randy, you deserve it. You definately have more patience and hopes in this whole poss het game than I do. Glad its working for you and paying off with that gorgeous little girl.

    Congrats Randy. What a long road, but I know it is also the most rewarding road to take. Good luck with your other Poss Hets. I love Poss Hets (just like christmas presents everytime they drop a clutch).
