You guys changed the litter make up on me. I was still figuring 3 out of 4 being defective in my previous post. Here are the all numbers for all affected: 4 out of 4 ends up being 4 litters and 5 out of 5 comes out to 1. So there's still a shot at getting the one bad litter every year. After all, people win the lottery on less odds than this. All the best, Susan Cochran
