The "OddsGods" b*tchslapped me!

Went to the incubator two days ago expecting eggs to be pipping and they were. 5 beautiful eggs that were from a pastel to normal breeding. Yay! I'm expecting 2 maybe 3 pastels (My first Normal to pastel breeding garnered me 2 female pastels, a male pastel, and two normal girls; not bad odds. Got giddy after them not leaving the egg for two days, so I cut a window. This is what I saw:

Guess the OddGods are showing me who's boss. Only one pastel (bottom right).

Ditto. Even though my first clutch of 5 garnered me 1.2 pastels and 0.2 normals. Congratulations. My clutch above (Clutch #2) gave me 4.1 babies, with the lone pastel being the female.
