Never understood multiple male breedings, so I'm going to ask: Say this female lays a clutch of 3-4 eggs, they all hatch and appear normal! How do you know who the sire is? Obviously, the recessive het muddies the water!

well a het to normal breeding only produces possible hets anyway so youd have to hold back females and try to prove them out anyway and the codominant stuff would be visuals

Yeah, I know how the genetics work! I just don't know why you would do that!

I can understand multiple co-dom/dom, but tossing in a recessive...and just a het to boot. You got your work cut out for ya.
