I'm not sure how you derived your probability percentages.
there is not a 20% prob. to get all pieds, I calculate 1.5625% for all pieds.
to calculate the prob. of at least 1 pied, it is easier to find the prob. of no pied, and subtracting that from 1.
1 being the total percentage.
here are my calculations if you see an error let me know.

so I get a 57.8125% of at least one pied from a clutch of 3 het X het eggs.
sorry I'm avoiding work on a Sat. morning LOL
