A breeding size visual pied female will be a cool $3000 + , IF I can find one for sale.

Guess what I'm going to buy ?

Congrats on that male pied, at 600 it's a steal. But on the het female, you are running into the risk of the gene unless you are really buying from a trusted source. Buying that breeding size visual pied female can pretty much give you your money back on that first clutch, but if you can find one for 3k. Just a thought...
