Very few will use different recessive males on the same female, what you are seeing is usualy dominant or co-dominant males being used on a given female.



For instance,If one breeds a young mojave male and is not sure if he did the job, he can then be backed up by lets say, a pastel, once the clutch hatches, you know right away who fathered that particular clutch, you would get mojaves, pastels and/or both mutations.



With recessives such as albino or pieds, you would not see who fathered the clutch and would then have to test breed each one to see if they are gene carriers...



Dominant and co-dominant, you know right away...
