A good place to start learning about genetics is from the pages provided by NERD. There are excelent discriptions and diagrams of how the genetics work using the punnet square.

hello,

Thats the way to look at it Scott

I just let most of ours get on with it and get a surprise when the eggs hatch out way more fun

Ryan

if both parents are the same, and they are not het for anything then they will all be the same as the parents.
if the parents are both het for the same thing then you would get 25% of the total that would be the same as whatever the het was. the rest would all be the same as the parents, although they would all be 66% het for whatever morph the other babies turned out to be, lol
i'm not gonna read that again, i just hope t makes sense

This is where the problems come in though isnt it Nigel.You may well have a pair of carolinas but when paired up and the eggs hatch out you can have any number morphs with out knowing that they were even het.Then when you also go into ressesive traits you could end up with almost anything.

Im surprised that i havnt seen royals popping out of corn eggs with all the different genetics hehehehehehehe
