So take .75 and raise that value to the number of eggs you get. Ex 8 egg clutch: .75^8 = .100 = 10% chance of not getting a single pied in the entire clutch. Ex 4 egg clutch: .75^4 = .316 = 31.6% chance of not getting any pieds in the entire clutch. never thought to look at it that way...when you put it THAT way the outcomes don't seem so bleak!
