Personally I bought 4 %50 het pied 08 females, since possible hets are so much cheaper and I figure with 4 there's gotta be atleast one het pied... And I am saving up for a visual pied male born in 09 'cus the price will probably drop and this way they will hopefully age/size out the same year.

I'm scared though that none of my possibles will prove out

3 of them are sisters from a clutch of 6 and one person bought the other 3, so if she got ALL the hets and I got all the normals then

lol

So maybe %100 hets are the way to go.... I'm pretty happy with my decision. Even if they're all normals they still all have crazy awesome patterns. And they'll still produce hets when bred to a visual so I can sell the babies either way... Maybe not sell for much $$ but atleast I probably won't get stuck with alot of mouths to feed.

Good luck
