Pied on a clutch

[John1982]

Im not trying to be mean here, just trying to understand something. Why would you put 2 males with her if you really want one of them to be the father and not the other? JUs wondering. Awesome pic tho! I hope to be seeing something like that very soon!

A reason that comes to mind, maybe the desired sire wasn't a very rigorous breeder so the other was paired as well to increase odds of at least getting some viable eggs. Congrats on the clutch OP, I love seeing females on eggs!
