Line breeding is done a lot to prove out new mutations. I would just try to avoid it long term. Best to outcross in the future but a few times doing line breeding should be fine.

Hi Rex -- the pied male and het pied from the same clutch should be fine...it really is almost taster's choice on that. I think I'd just ask the breeder you are getting them from what the background is (like are the Dam and Sire siblings..etcetera)

Best of luck with proving out what ever you get!

Rex.. I would have to agree with Susan on this one but make sure that you check on the parent's of the clutch... Good Luck with them and hope you get lots of babies from your pair once you decide what to do and make sure you post lots of pictures
