You should not peek at 3 gene stuff you maybe can get if you get a 2-gene male and breed it to your 1-gene female, and the 2 normals.

You should get a 3-4 gene male or a super + 1-2 gene male and breed that to your 3 females. And get fancy clutches, even from the normals.

You can breed for fun with what you have. Even if you buy a powerhouse male hatchling for 1500 dollars now, you should breed what you have before your powerhouse male is ready, for one season of experience.

Het pieds tend to have markers, so i would not bet on that. The way to cheaply but effectively start a recessive project is to get a visual male, and between 2 and 5 females that are all 100% het, or visual, for clutches that contain 100% hets, and visuals. 66% possible hets do not sell well. and breeders, when selling, give 50% possible het away as a bonus or charge little for it, some even disregard it and do not forward the information.
