I am happy too

2.2 in this clutch and all of them have belly markers.

Clutch number one 6.0 and 3 have the markers.

So I guess I will see in couple of years if those girls prove out or not.

Here's a quote from Christy Talbert whom I purchased my PH Pied clutch from regarding markers on PHs. I had asked her when I bought them if she mind me sharing the same advice and she told me to go ahead.

The way Ralph taught me to identify (or try to identify) het pieds was related to color, not train tracks - although I have noticed alot of the ones with the color also have the tracks.

She told me that many will have real nice orange tones to them on their flanks (on the alien heads). Which mine DO have, and they also have the belly markers, however...one with the belly marker does NOT have the orange tones.. And one with the orange tones doesn't have the belly marker!

Haha!

So there are a few visual clues to whether they're hets or not..but unfortunately for you and I both...that's why they're possible hets. Just wish there were a definitive way to tell.

Would be nice, either way I need more girls so I am exciting that I had the opportunity to hatch those girls and that I will get to raise them up, see them grow and breed them some day, plus next season my het pied female will be ready
