I agree that as more eggs hatch out with no visual morph, the chances of proving it out may go down, but that doesn't change it as being labled a 50% poss het to a 1% poss het. I have a feeling we're into the direction now of just discussing semantics and opinion of what to call the animal more than anything else. I do believe that the ethical thing to do (my opinion, what I would do) is if I was selling what was a 50% poss het that I had bred without seeing a visual morph from, would be tell any buyers that it is a 50% poss het that has produced X number of eggs when bred to (visual or het) and has not proved out yet.

I realize that the examples I gave of what I have seen are dealing with visual incomplete dominate genetics so we don't have the "possible" part mixed in, but what it illustrates is that when we start throwing in these percentages, those are just based on theoretical expected possibilities and in real life application often times they do come close I believe if you were able to look at a large sampling size, but things can go a long way off from them also.

As I said before, seven would not be a big enough number for me to count out an animal being a het, somewhere over double that...I've gone 0 for 7 in a clutch, it happens. For anyone else, breed until you feel satisfied and anyone that's trying to prove out a possible het, best of luck to you, it's a great feeling when it happens, it's really an awesome surprise when you prove an animal as being a het that you didn't even buy as a possible het! For anyone that feels they've struck out on proving one out, I hope you have fun and enjoy the ride, hatching out babies is still a lot of fun no matter if they're morphs or normals!
