    think you might have made a typo there.

    but id go with 100 %het to 100% het not perfect odds but youll most likely get one first try

    Re: Pieds????

    I am currrnetly workngi on het to het but I will go to piedto het at least this way you can sell ( if that your thing) the normals as 100%hetand not have the chance of a normal gonig out .

    once I get my pied ( fromt my het ot het ) any other I don't keep wit be sold ( offered out to adoption ) as normals. I know it mayhurt a profit type set up but i figure it may offer any future breeder a nice surprise if they breed a het to it by chance and figurethey take the longest way out lol..

    Pied to het is 50% chance per egg.
    Het to het is 25% per egg
    Pied to pied 100%

    Lots of breeders bring up female hets and drop the $ on a pied male.

    Re: Pieds????

    from a financial perspective, dump the big $ on a pied male and pick up a het female or two. Typical breeding scenario for any animal is to get true quality males and then breed to multiple females for quantity. Multiple females also reduces the chances of having a non-productive season due to bad odds(not hitting the homozygous forms) or having one bad clutch ruin your entire season. You could probably get two het females for the price of one hom. female

    From a collectors perspective, why not have TWO visual pieds in the collection, instead of just one?

    I agree. Most likely if you buy a pied male, a breeder would give you a deal on some 100% het pied females.
