    Odds are fickle at best, we only got 2 black pastels from 10 eggs clown X black pastel but got 8 black pastel het albino's out of 9 eggs in a black pastel X albino clutch.

    Re: what are the odds of nothing???

    The chance of missing on six 50/50 eggs in a row is 0.5^6 = 1.5625% so your chance of getting at least one pied was 98.4375%

    My first clutch was a pastel to a normal. We had 8 eggs and 9 babies...And only got 1 pastel! This hobby can be very humbling! Just try again next year and I'm sorry about your luck.
