    I don't think you can do a 4x4 punnet for double recessive. I will draw up a punnet for albino x piebald crossing during chem class (we are taking a small 15 min break right now) and I will post it after class.

    Re: Albino and Piebald
    Albino x piebald gets you 100% double-het's for both genes. They would all be normal-looking animals with both the albino and piebald genes. You would need to breed 2 such animals to get what you're looking for. Below is the square for that.

    Capital letters represent NORMAL genes.

    Albino = aaPP
    Piebald = AApp

    Double het for Albino and Piebald = AaPp


    ___| _AP_ | _Ap_ | _aP_ | _ap
    ---------------------------------
    AP | AAPP | AAPp | AaPP | AaPp
    ---------------------------------
    Ap | AAPp | AApp | AaPp | Aapp
    ---------------------------------
    aP | AaPP | AaPp | aaPP | aaPp
    ---------------------------------
    ap | AaPp | Aapp | aaPp | aapp

    aapp will be your double recessive morph, showing both the albino and piebald mutation. You've got a 1/16 chance per EGG to get that designer morph.

    Aw, you beat me to it. I did it during Chem class and am comparing it to yours. It matches exactly except for the letters I used. :D

    So your chances are:
    (per offspring)

    6.25% chance that offspring will be Normal (no het)
    12.5% chance that offspring will be Normal Het for Albino
    12.5% chance that offspring will be Normal Het for Pied
    25% chance that offspring will be Normal Double Het
    6.25% chance that offspring will be Albino (no het)
    12.5% chance that offspring will be Albino Het for Pied
    6.25% chance that offspring will be Pied (no het)
    12.5% chance that offspring will be Pied Het for Albino
    6.25% chance that offspring will be Albino Pied

    So you have very slim chances of producing non-het albinos, pieds, normals, and albino pieds.
