Should I get these?

If you want a relatively inexpensive way to do the pied thing find a breeder that has a clutch or two of possible het females. Buy all the females from both clutches. By buying all the females you are actually increasing your odds that a few of them will actually be hets. If you buy individual hets from different breeders then you are strictly playing the odds where as if you buy 5 females from the same clutch then in theory 3 of them should be hets. Grow them possible hets for a year and next year get a visual pied. Buy a extremely low white and save yourself some more money and buy the following breeding season everything should be able to breed for you and you can prove out your possible hets. Todd

The females were all from the same clutch, but the male wa from a different breeder all together.

They are all sold now anyways. I am just going to get a male pied next year and a few 100% het females. That will be my income tax purchase for next year. I consider it a sound investment.

My personality would be reputable breeder and full het.........50% is just that....all 4 could be 50% nothing........reputable breeder and invest in what is known. Just my thoughts:)
