100% Het??????

It really depends on a lot of factors.

-What you are able to start with?
-What "byproducts" do you find valuable?
-How many individuals you are willing and able to keep in each generation?
-How much inbreeding you are comfortable with?
-How much "randomness" you are willing to deal with?

Any 3-or-more-trait project can be done in a variety of ways. Quite a few projects can be completed a lot more "efficiently" (depending on the answers to the above) by doing the math up front, but it's a HUGE word problem and takes some serious patience.
 
Serp pretty much nailed it down, you can calculate several szenarios depending mostly on what animals you have, how much you can keep and how many time you'd like to invest.

You can then calculate your results by some assumtions on number of eggs, double clutches, gender.

Remember - the given ratios are just "true" for large numbers BUT they are more than nothing. So, if someone would ask me to play a game with dices and money involved, I would first calculate my odds. Playing it one time, 10 time or 100 times may lead to very different results. But playing it for 10 Years - you should carefully look at your odds.

So, as a sum up for this, cause I sometimes don't know how vinman can bring all these aspects in 3 ghettoslang sentences I hardly understand I nearly can't connect to the threads content:
A breeder that watches his odds carefully and optimizes his way of breeding for his needings by calculating his odds will do better after 10 or 15 years than just using his "luck". That may not be true for 10 clutches or 3 years of breeding - that may not be true for everyone, but thats the fun in the game - isn't it?
 
dude I'm a metal head not a hip hoper I dont talk getto I may mispell words but you are not talking fact quote; I sometimes don't know how vinman can bring all these aspects in 3 ghettoslang sentences I hardly understand I nearly can't connect to the threads content: dude where do you see 3 sentances did you look at the 2posts first post
Het is a gene carrier 100 % het is a redundant term thouth true possable hets is just what it says it is possable this comes from two hets bred together. in the normal young you cant tell who is carrying the gene. This is my pet pea when you have multi hets bred together who cares what percent chance you get to get the multi mutation you want. Case fact it is a roll of the dice in what you get . percentages dont mean squat. I bred a amber motley het for anery A and amel to his mother she is het for hypo, anery A. motley, amel, and caramel. Last year I did not get one amel in either 1 st or 2 nd clutch. It is all a gamble. You can have 1 out of a 120 chances of getting a corn with multi homos. in a clutch ,you can have 10 eggs and have 3 babies that can hatch in the clutch that beat the odds. this is why you can figure out all your odds and never have a clutch can come out the way you predict. If some told me dont do that cross because you only have a 1 out of a 480 chancesto produce the multi mutation. I would still do it ,so who cares what percentages you get that wont gurantee you wether you produce what you want or not.

very inportant for genetic reserch yes for the breeder this info can hurt a breeder . when you look at the odds , sometimes they are stacked up way aginst you so someone might not want to take a chance .Look at the striped, hypo ,lavender bloodred. you can cross a hypo lav. to a striped blood there fore produceing normal 4 way hets. long shot odds or spend more years bulding up to your goal producing diffrent combos to breed together. striped bloods to a hypo lav blood and produce bloods het for a hypo, lav, stripe or striped bloods x hypo lav het for stripe better odds, or a hypo , lav, blood, het for stripe x to a hypo striped lavender. produceing hypo striped lav. het for bloodred more better odds to produce a Striped, hypo, laverder, bloodred. But look how many years it will take you to achive your goal. I rather make 4 way hets and keep more animals backand play the odds. this is just my personal exp. Serp can you print out the odds, you are good at this I'm not, it would be nice to show people the percentages. So a person can make their own mind up on which way to go when doing a project.
what I said is the term 100% het is redundent het or hetero is the proper abbreviation. poss. hets are posablely carrying the gene.
quote; I hardly understand I nearly can't connect to the threads content:
it was talked about earlyer in this thread about multi hets and the precentages of what will come out of the clutch. It will take you more years to produce animals with similar genes so you can get a homo/ het for somthing else . so you can narrow your odds. Now take 2 diffrent double homozygous corns that have no compatable gens and cross them together to get a normal corn with 4 genes on it a 4 way het, The odd are more against you but you have more years to breed them together to get what you want. you can always beat the odds I have. The first year I bred triple hets I got lucky I got a amber motley in the first clutch.
