How do you know which Hets are what?

[h00blah]

With 100% het pied to 100% het pied - let's say a clutch is 4 eggs.

Each EGG has a 25% chance of hatching a pied (the animal received a pied gene from each parent)
Each EGG has a 25% chance of hatching a normal (the animal received the normal gene from each parent)
Each EGG has a 50% chance of hatching a het (the animal received a normal gene from one parent and a pied gene from the other parent).

So - let's say that this 4 egg clutch hatches statistically accurate and there is 1 visible pied and 1 normal and 2 hets.

You cannot visually tell the hets from the normal. So - 1 normal plus 2 hets is three wild type babies.

2 out of 3 are 100% het, or 66% of the three. So - all THREE of the normal type have a 66% chance of being the 100% het carrier. That's why normal appearing babies from 100% het to 100% het breedings are called 66% possible hets.

Does that make sense?

wow - this is the best explanation i've seen
i'm not sure if giving you more rep is necessary so i'm just thanking you LOL.
