with one of the top 5, i bought pied hets a decade or so ago - cost me 7 or 8 grand per. the female threw three large clutches - no visuals. then on the fourth clutch, out of 9 eggs, one pied.
it's insane. i know. and someone here always does the math after two clutches of 8 or 10 eggs dont hatch saying thats like .01% possible or some such thing.
i lived it. i tortured that breeder. then finally 6 or 7 years later, i got ONE pied from that female.
the odds gods owe you nothing. i'm sure lots of idiots scam folks over hets - i'm also sure lots of people dont truly know how bad their own luck can be with real hets.
