Male/Female Makers...Only Bananas??

[MS2]

The reason I ask is because this past season I bred a Pied male x a 66% Het Pied female. Resulting in a 4 egg clutch. I hatched 3 Pied and 1 Het Pied. Great odds already, and they also are all FEMALE. Both were virgins so I have nothing to go by as far as the parents. I did produce 2 other clutches (not pied) and had a good male/female ratio.

I'm breeding the Pied male to a few different females this season, so I'll have to wait and see if it's him or not.

Are there known male/female makers in other morphs other than Bananas? Or did I just have extremely good luck?

I hatched all female clutches and all male clutches in the past with even more eggs, it's just luck or lack there off.

Remember you have 50% chance to hatch one or the other (odds per egg)

You would need to produce several clutches with a fair amount off eggs to conclude that your animal produces only a certain gender.

As far as I know bananas/coral glows are the only genes that are sex linked. I think you just hit good odds with your pied clutch. and grats on your poss het proving out

That's my plan

It's not sex linked, it is anomaly that doesn't have a name, as this is the first case of it happening in biology.

To the OP the chances of a 4 egg clutch being all female are 1 in 16, it happens quite a bit actually, I had a 6 egg clutch all males last year and it wasn't a clutch I wanted all males lol.

All female clutches = sweet luck!

I have one black pastel female who, out of two clutches of a combined 14 babies, has only given me one daughter. It's just a quirk, nothing to do with her morph. One daughter in a clutch of six eggs, then an all male clutch of eight. Luckily this a really small sample size, so hopefully she won't keep doing it
