I looked but i couldn't find it, but it was a little tid bit written by Brain, i read it over a year ago, about we he talked about the pin having a homo form and he had a male that was bred to different females and produced all pins and i remeber he recorded the different clutches and had the odds of him hitting pin 100% of the time and pin being dominate which means 1/2 chance for each egg to be pin, was something like a 100,000,000 to 1, so that was enough proof for me. which i did some quick math and that would be somewhere around 30 eggs, all hitting pin.

I exchange emails with him and a few months ago i asked him about it, to confirm it and he said that he has proven pin to have a homo form. but he didn't go into detail about what i said above. I could make a suggestion for him to post something about it on the forum here for everyone to see, mayb he'll take the time to do it.

and to clear up the whole het thing....
genes come in sets of 2
het aka heterozygous means only having 1 gene
homo aka homozygous means having both genes
both resessive and co-dom can be het, just means they only have 1 gene. het albino is obviously het and albino is homo, lesser is het and BEL is homo, pastel is het, super pastel is homo.
dominate genes do not have a homo form
