So starting this season I've decided to try and lay the groundwork for my first "Project". In my previous post I mentioned I kept balls for about 8 years and I've always had a thing for albinos and Pied. The more time that I spent looking around the more seduced I found myself becoming with other morphs. After doing some thinking and (dollar counting) I've decided that I'm gonna stick to my original Idea and stay with albino and pied. I plan on going to Northern Berks on the first and see what I can find there and looking around on line. I plan on picking up a albino and if at all posible a pair of pied hets.
My "Goal" would be an ALBINO PIED down the road but before I go out and start spending I want to make sure I understand the "Theory" behind
what I'm taking on.
If I started with a Albino and a pair of Pied Hets and I pred the hets I'd have a 25% shot @ getting a Pied and 50% pied hets and 25% normal...
Now If I got lucky and got the pied...and bred a pied does to an albino I would get 50% het Pied 50% het albino. Correct so far?
No let me pretend that by some divine intervention I got it right and then bred the het pied to an albino and a pied to an albino het (this is where things get a little murkey for me) would the previous odds hold for me getting a double het?
as in pied x albino het = 25% of getting a double Het?
or albino x pied het + 25% of getting a double het?
and then if I go het pied/het Albino x het pied/ het Albino = 25% chance of albino Pied????
I pretty sure I'm screwing this up somewhere but I'm not sure. Before I go out and start spending I want to make sure I understand what I'm up against.
I'm not even 100% sure that thats how you get to albino pied. I'd be greatful to anyone who can point me in the right direction or somthing I can read to .
Thanks
