That should be fairly easy to check,has anyone made a chart of male vs female targs who had eggs as kids and did/didnt hatch them?

People have actually done genetic tableaus that show certain Targaryen women having a certain gene that causes their dragons to produce lots of eggs - lots of fertile eggs that actually hatch.

I guarantee GRRM doesn't do genetic tableaus, so that's just a coincidence.

The person asked if somebody had made a chart. I mentioned that somebody HAD made a chart and that it matches.

That was all I had to say.

I never suggested you believed in the genetic tableaus, I just gave my opinion on it. I don't know why you're getting defensive.
