If you breed recessive gene male to a normal girl you can still "back him up" with a codominant male like a spider. That way if all the babies look normal chances are the recessive male fathered the clutch. If you see spider in the clutch it's obvious the spider fathered the clutch. Spider (codominant) x normal = half babies spider and half babies normal. Pied (recessive) x normal. all babies look normal, but are 100% het pied. Hope this helps. Chris Hall
