My experience has been the same as Brandon, I heard the rumors years ago (10/15 years), but IMO they were based on the first animals produced which may have come from animals that were poor feeders themselves.
I strongly believe that genetics and selective breeding have since made up for that, I have 4000 and 3000 grams pieds that eat without fail, produce 10 to 12 eggs with babies out of the eggs weighing at 90 grams.
I do have a favorite pied she is a single gene pied, the reason I started breeding so she is very special to me.

They are stunning, what do they have in them?
This is Tulius. I don’t know what he is other than handsome! He has blue eyes and only 2 small spots. If anyone can categorize him, thanks!

Looks like a BEL. Would that spot be a paradoxing? Not familiar with how that shows up on BELs

Blue eyes doesn’t always equal BEL. A little hard to tell from the pic, but this Pied has blue eyes and no other color.

But I didn’t know non BELs can sometimes have BEs. Interesting
