This is a good point and also brings up something I thought of reading this thread:

I ended up with an 8 egg retained sperm clutch this year that I didn't plan on. I didn't intend on having babies at all this year and planned on just a single clutch of pieds next year. Instead, I have 4 pastels, 2 black pewters, and a normal. And the pastels are not that great -- which was why I didn't repeat the original pairing. Am I looking forward to trying to place them? No. No I'm not.
