There are two ways to get 100% chance het pied babies (you could also prove many types of possible hets to be a het by breeding but then it would have to be an adult).



The non-pieds from homozygous pied X heterozygous pieds would be 100% hets. They got the pied gene from the homozygous pied parent because it didn't have a normal to give and obviously got the normal gene from the het parent or they would be homozygous pied. However, it would be unlikely to get 10 hets and no pieds from breeding a het pied X homozygous pied (99.90% chance of that NOT happening).



Most likely the clutch of ten 100% chance het pieds where from homozygous pied X a nice big normal. They each got the pied gene from the homozygous pied parent and the normal gene from the normal parent.
