Poss Hets, Twins, and Trusting Friends

So let me tell you all a story about back when Heather was just starting out...

I had wanted Pieds for a while. But, back in the day, Hets were pretty darn expensive... So I waited it out for a bit, until I met this woman, Miss WolfyHound. She had just came onto the scene, bred her Het Pied male to a Normal, and wanted to sell her clutch.

I bought it, thinking that this lady seemed nice and trustworthy, and we began a friendship that lasted ever since.

So I got three sister 50% poss het Pieds.

YAY!

I grew them up, waiting year after year until they were ready.

This season, they were.

So I bred my Pied to them, praying that my luck would prove at least ONE of them out. Only two went this season, so that was already a kick in the pants.

And the first female laid 5 beautiful eggs. I couldn't be happier!

So I waited 60 days.

And lo and behold...

MY FIRST SET OF TWINS pipped first!!

How awesome is that???

So I waited, waited until I couldn't wait anymore... I cut...

And there were FOUR pieds in Five eggs, plus the Twins!

WOWEE!!!

And now, they are out of the egg...

And here is the kicker.
