Alpha crabs

I've gendered all but one of my PP's so far, and I was sort of surprised to find out that Hector, my alpha crab, is female. I was curious if anyone noticed a trend as far as gender and alpha/subordinate goes?

I have had male and female. I'm not sure if gender plays much of a role in this or not. Never thought about it! I'll be interested to see the poll results.

My alpha is hiding at the moment, but when he or she re-emerges I'll try and figure out the gender thing. Honestly, until I read the FAQ here, I didn't even know you COULD tell them apart! My current quest, though, is to try and figure out what species all my crabs are - the explanation of how to tell them apart confuses the heck out of me.

In one tat Lurr in the Alpha crab and she is female, and in the other tat scruffy is the alpha crab and to the best of my knowledge she is a female (not 100% sure)

Is your alpha crab male or female?
