No. Its possible to have two or more males to sire a clutch, but not individual eggs. Only one sperm is able to fertilize an egg. Only some will be Het Pied and some will be fire, but not both.

Chimeras can occur, but not common. This is when two fertilized eggs or embryos fuse together into one being.

Lol. Its my pleasure.

Hope your rat pulls through. Petco is pretty shady sometimes with their live animals.

thanks nikki

Just to add.

You would not be able to be certain of the sire of any normals and pastels in that clutch.

That's why it is not recommended to play "who's yer daddy" with any recessive gene males - you cannot say for sure you have a 100% het.

The only exception would be if you used a super form of the codominant gene like a black eyed leucistic.
