Another Corncalc Question

I go mess around on corncalc sometimes and something someone told me about p/hets made me think I'm doing it wrong. You would not put p/hets in would you? Or would you do it with and without just to see more of what you could end up with?
 
There's no right or wrong way. They're just two ways of getting the different potential outcomes.

Not putting in the p/hets would get you the potential answer, if your p/het turned out not to be a het.

Putting in the p/hets would get you the potential answer, if your p/het turned out to be an actual het.

The only way you'd know which answer is the "right" one, is to hatch the eggs and see what pops out.

Except sometimes, especially if you have a small clutch, you don't have a large enough sample to rule out a poss het.

The one clutch I did have this year, I hit pretty close to what corncalc predicted. But it was a large clutch. The more hets the lower the odds of hitting a certain combination or so.

I remember when one of Shiari's first clutches had a BUNCH of normals and aneries...and ONE lonely snow. It wasn't a small clutch either. So I agree....it's hard to know for sure. :)
 
I had a clutch of 14 this year of avalanche stripe (amel anery bloodred stripe het or homo hypo) x hypo bloodred het anery stripe and only got ONE ghost (stripe), no other expression of anery at all. If that ONE egg hadn't been a ghost, we would have thought that the mom really wasn't het anery. PLUS the other babies were all fires and avalanches, so if there hadn't been that one ghost, we wouldn't have known Pepper was het (or homo) hypo!
