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.
1.3 Pieds, 0.2 Het Twins with Ringers.
Can't get any better than that.
So thank you, Teresa Baker, for being an amazing and trustworthy person when you could have faked it.
You have made my season with this, and I am forever grateful.
